On a somewhat related note: In Washington State, rainwater is considered property of the state, making it technically illegal to catch & save rainwater for house plants. How long till they figure out how to enforce that one?
We don't use gasoline today solely because it's a byproduct that we'd have to dump anyway. Even if it were, it wouldn't be in significant quantity to the amount required by the number of vehicles on the road. Industry could still use it to run various types of machinery.
I simply focus on the mainstream fuel issue because oil IS better utilized in producing durable products as opposed to just engine exhaust. Why should we continue to use it for fuel when there are alternative ways of running vehicles, and useful things to create with petroleum? $4.00+ per gallon is impacting many areas. I never said the extraction of oil would cease if we stopped using it for fuel. I didn't even imply it. At least some plastics can be recycled. Spent gasoline has no recycle potential. It's a waste of petroleum to ignore alternative fuel options.
There is no psychoactive chemical component in petroleum which causes humanoids to crave ways to utilize and consume it.
The people aren't "addicted" to petroleum. Our society, culture and geography IS structured towards travel, commuting and owning one's own vehicle-however- we don't particularly care whether our cars run on gasoline, hydrogen, Red Bull or chicken soup-- as long as we can get around. By now, it's pretty well established that alternatives to oil exist for running vehicles (DUH!). The reason we continue to burn petroleum is because the energy companies have so much control.
We're not addicted to oil. We need to get to work, school, the grocery store, etc. Don't blame the people's need to travel, on addiction to oil. We'll travel with whatever energy/fuel source is most available.
The oil companies are addicted to profit, greed, power and control. The people should be free to travel and choose modes of travel, and types of fuel. That freedom is in question here.
This is the real issue. Alternative energy technology has been withheld and doled out in tiny drippings, whilst oil continues to gush in exchange for profits at the pump.
I'm not "addicted" to paying $4.00+ per gallon. Nobody is. Give us choices!
How ironic! With so many pools scrapping their diving boards for insurance reasons, it's a surprise to see this. It's like the cigar craze popping up in the middle of the anti-smoking era.
In order to boost my traffic, I've considered using a female identity and posting a profile photo of a hot babe. Not the kind of traffic I ultimately want, but just long enough to get better indexed by Google. I don't know whether male bloggers are taken more seriously than females. How seriously does anyone really want to be taken anyway? On the web, TRAFFIC is king. As a blogger, traffic is most important.
People blog about various things. Any blogger who wants to be taken seriously is probably just too serious. You have to post a lot and be relevant. Google can't tell a blogger's gender.
Dylan's looking like a cross between John Carradine and Vincent Price. Either way, I could still see him tying some beautiful young maiden to the railroad tracks.
And what about what they're doing down in Mexico-- CAT JUGGLING!!! FOR MONEY!!!

Let him know what you think. He just released his first solo album.

Oh yeah, I always take MissCellania seriously.
