It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Was $3.51 here (S.E. Minnesota) a few days ago, but back up to $3.59 yesterday.  I didn't see the prices today cuz I bicycled and there are no gas stations along that route.

$3.63 today at the downtown Arco in Corvallis.

$3.59 at the Arco at the Hwy. 34/I-5 junction.  The Shell and the Chevron across the highway from the Arco came down two cents to $3.77 yesterday.  That's the first movement in about four weeks.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I paid $3.37 in Indy last week (Harding St, off 465, several Truck plazas.  Lowest Gas Prices in Indy)

Don't know what it is up, here as I haven't been able to get out the last two days.  And haven't needed to buy any (1999 Saab 9-3, 33.4 MPG on the return trip from Indy)

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Even my new Jeep Liberty with 3.7L V-6 only gets about 24mpg highway, with a tailwind, cruise control on, and lock-up torque converter engaged. 
That aint bad at all- its about what my 14 year old gran prix daily driver gets on a good day. Of course my car is more green because it has a lot more recycled parts on it :lol:

Seriously, technology has gotten a lot better. I am still amazed at the engine in our trailblazer- 4.2L straight 6 that puts out 275HP and gets 21 mpg on road trips. I've owned a 1/2 dozen v8 and v6 sedans over the years and other than the pontiac, none of them got that kind of gas mileage.
