Could not have said it more eloquently. One of the worst ideas I've heard in a long time. Could not agree more with above reply. Could not have said it more eloquently.

I give that plan an "EF MINUS MINUS MINUS MINUS MINUS MINUS MINUS" (in the immortal words of my senior high school English teacher, Robert Taylor). Or, we could go with "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" ... I’ll be happy to tell you what I think.

]]> Comment on Who Killed the Electric Car? by Brian Baldowski http://www.baldowski.org/2008/11/14/who-killed-the-electric-car/#comment-75 Brian Baldowski Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:51:36 +0000 http://www.baldowski.org/2008/11/14/who-killed-the-electric-car/#comment-75 I did some further research for the story. The batteries the EV1 were using took 8-10 hrs to fully charge. For a 60 mile trip, that's a long time. There is research going on to try to create a battery that will charge in less time, under an hour if possible. Also, for all the equipment, electricity, and maintainance on the car would cost almost twice the amount as an internal combustion engine, over the life of the car, comparably. Something else to think about. The electricity for the cars has to be produces some way. The power plants would have to generate alot more electricity for the cars, especially if there are alot of them sold, on top of the electricity already being used in normal households. I don't know if an environmental impact study was done to figure out how much more electricity would need to be produced and the pollutants that would add to the atmosphere, as compared to internal combustion engine cars.

]]> Comment on Civil Unions vs Marriage by Jeremy Clifton http://www.baldowski.org/2008/11/09/civil-unions-vs-marriage/#comment-74 Jeremy Clifton Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:13:53 +0000 http://www.baldowski.org/2008/11/09/civil-unions-vs-marriage/#comment-74 I agree. The same Christians who support these sorts of measures should take some time and think about how they'd feel if the government started to restrict the right of heterosexual couples to marry in some way based on a simple majority vote. As Gerald Ford once said quite aptly, "[a] government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." The simple fact is, there is no good reason for government to be in the marriage business ... outside of recognizing the contract entered into by the people gettin' hitched. I agree.

Gotta love blogs. As to your comment, My mother told me the same thing about voting McCain.The point is, though, McCain doen't represent me anymore than Obama. My vote, I hope, will help the Lib. party to be established on the ballot and not have to fight for access anymore. Will, never mind, It gave me a second chance and I figured it out this time.

I can't remember how to approve comments since I have only done it the once with Jeremy. If you can repost your comment I will figure out how to approve it. I thought I did it right this time but the system said I had marked it as spam. Sorry about that. Jeremy, help this poor idiot. As far as voting Green, well, I don't know enough about their current platform to help with that. Is Nader still the candidate? Will, I accidentally deleted your comment.
