Yeah, I wish the "Native Americans" would have won... of course if they did there would probably be global warming problems from the immense amounts of methane venting from the butts of over-populated buffalo!

I'd call it a capitalist oligarchy. Either way, the government stopped acting in the interest of the people a long time ago when corporations and SIGs started buying politicians. BUT, just because the system is flawed doesn't mean its irrepairable. And frankly, I don't believe our lifestyles have to change all that much. In fact, getting most people to change is futile, which is why we need to implement the technology we already have so people won't have to change their behavior very much. I personally have started making changes in my life that really haven't inconvenienced me at all. I LOVE my new diesel Jetta, it gets 3x the fuel mileage of my VX, and it can run BioDiesel. I think it starts with educating people, because there are many simple, smart choices that people can make but they don't because they're force-fed all sorts of ideas through the media and advertising that are just plain wrong.Quote:

I even drove it over the concrete wall that seperates oncoming traffic.
And over logs 3 feet in dia.
I love my VX but it has it's limits.
I agree with all who say 4 low is only for poor traction and lower speeds.
I could "crab" my 1 ton in a circle insde of its length. you can really feel the front tires pulling sidways. Yes I did break many U-joints.
But I was young.
We had snow here today but I only used the power button to clean up any slippery spots. I save 4 low for at least 5-6" of snow.
I won't touch the warming issue other to say during WWll, they were burning cities daily. Modern cities and cars produce a large amount of heat and runoff. but with mountains over a mile high. I doubt there could ever be a "Waterworld".
, unless mountains sink?
Same as the Romans, maybe?Quote:

The real answer came from hippies, = It was callecd ZPG, or zero population growth. Tax the parents of more than two children, Like Singapore has had to do.
We must fight the corporations, they sit there in their...corporation buildings acting all corporatey and making money.
Darn Isuzu and their conspiracy and capitalist um...dictatorship...that forced me to buy a 15 mpg SUV that seats 2+2.
I put a jihad on them.... And if you don't believe it, then you better kill me now... cause I'll put a jihad on you too.
It is limited slip, & if you don't have enough LSD additive in there, you will hear a chattering coming from the rear end when making tight turns.Quote:
