THEY SAID IT BEST! (reprise)

"Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who
can't get his pants off." - Author Unknown

  "God has no religion." - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) 

"If government were a product, selling it would be illegal. Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have. Government contains impure ingredients - as anybody who's looked at Congress can tell you... Government should be against the law. Term limits aren't enough. We need jail." - P.J. O'Rourke 

"Progress may have been a good thing once, but it's gone on far too long." - Ogden Nash


"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford
 
"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein 

"We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein 

"If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live." - Lin Yutang

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." - Bertrand Russell

WHO NEEDS GASOLINE?

Gasoline is toxic waste - so why are we using it as fuel?



We don't need gasoline. We never needed it.


Scientific and historical facts about gasoline and alcohol:

1. Henry Ford's early automobiles ran on alcohol because when they were invented gasoline was not available.

2. John Rockefeller spent $4 million (that we know of) to promote Prohibition, a ban on alcohol manufacturing in the US that started in 1919, just as the car industry was taking off.

3. By the time Prohibition was lifted in 1933, gasoline stations were ubiquitous and most engines ran on gasoline only.

4. Alcohol can be manufactured locally and on a community level from renewable plant material for $1 per gallon.

5. The growing of plant material for alcohol would have no effect on the price of food.

6. The growing of plants for fuel would more than neutralize the carbon created by burning alcohol for fuel.

7. In Brazil, over 50% of new cars sold can already run on 100% alcohol.

8. Producing alcohol from plant material is incredibly energy efficient.

9. The oil companies aggressively promote garbage science to deceive the public into believing that alcohol fuels: a) will cause starvation, b) are uneconomical, and c) are net polluters.

10. Gasoline is a highly toxic material.

11. The only reason gasoline has become the most common fuel for cars is that the oil companies would otherwise have a massive problem disposing of toxic petroleum waste.

12. Oil companies like Chevron have pressured PBS, commercial TV networks and other news media to keep this basic information from the public for decades - and the censorship continues to this day.
