I do not know who is reliable in consumer magazines.. When I was 16 I drove a 75 cadillac Eldorado with a 454 4 barrel to work and loaded the trunk with bricks and calls kinds of construction materials..Drove to work in comfort and beat the snot out of a wide range of vehicles on the street. This was in 86, that car was solid and could burn tires off the rims, it was still going strong in 93, when some other punk at 16 needed a vehicle to go to school. My mom had a 73 buick riveria that was gorgeous and powerful, she gave that buick to my uncle in 88, he fugged it up on the south east expresssway in a accident with a dumptruck... When She originally bought the car used in 75 it was stolen in a month and found in roxbury on blocks stripped, my old man kept and had it fixed, electric moonroof and all..

Growing up in boston, Brighams ice-cream was the popular stop for frappes, thats how they named it on the menu board and thats how most of the population described a milkshake...Bostons population is majority Irish, I'm a mick , in N.H. and maine they are populated with alot of french-canadians they use frappe to order a milkshake..Although in manchester N.H. I like the guntone(sp?) on toast, and their are quite alot of french bistros and delis, N.H. is a beautiful and conservative state even the french-americans who have lived in N.H since the 1700's Bievenue

Maybe I like rootbeer floats, right in my town is haywards ice cream stand fresh Ice cream and you can order Tonic-Soda-Coke Floats I prefer a rootbeer float or a Frappe known to people outside newengland as a milkshake or whatever regional distinction they use for blended ice-cream with a splash of milk. Regional distinctions for items are interesting, in maine a sub is called a grinder, I know in louisiana it's called a Poboy...My pop while in virginia at a drugstore soda fountain ordered in his regional terminology a Tonic, the tender returned with a bottle of hair tonic, My old mans like no a tonic to drink, the tender still unaware what my pops was saying stammered, and my dad said how about a coke.. I was in eastern tennessee and in the smokies and man understanding the accent was difficult and vice versa for them....Now adays I do have a slight southern tinge in my speech patterns after spending 6 years near ten thousand islands and the glades, I'm all dialed in and amped and fixing to go fishing, you reckon!! Still my boston accent is dominant and the pats look wickett pissah

I tried the pepsi milk combo, cuz of that show, blah!

I have Owned Chevy Trucks since 91, a very solid vehicle. July 06 was the strongest retail sales month so far this year for General Motors. GM's market share increased nearly 27%, and led in three of the most competitive industry segments: small SUV's, midsize cars and fullsize Trucks. In terms of retail share growth (not counting low-margin fleet sales) GM has outperformed virtually all it's competitors... GM's total sales were down with july 05, Gm last summer was in the midst of a highly successful program offering their cars and trucks at the same price that GM employees pay.. GM began the program in june 05 to help clear out inventories of 05 models; in it's first month, GM's market share shot up 32.4%, it's highest level in a decade.. So the year to year comparisons for this june and july were highly unusual, and don't offer a good measure of GM's performance this summer. GM offers more models that get EPA-rated 30mpg or better highway mileage that any other automaker, including Toyota and Honda..And consumers are responding. Chevy Aveo is is the best selling subcompact in america-a segment Toyota,Honda and Nissan didn't even compete in until this year...Gm was ahead of the competition in this increasingly important segment. GM is also the leader in offering flexible fuel vehicles that can run E85 ethanol, with more than 2 million on the road today.. GM's saturn division Vue Green, the most affordable hybrid SUV, just went into production..And next year they will offer sophisticated versions on full-size SUV's that promise more improvement on fuel economy.. Pontiac Solstice, saturn sky and chevrolet corvette ZO6 are sold out for the year. Cadillac and Buick scored higher than Toyota,Acura,Honda,Jaguar,BMW,Infinity,Mercedes and Volvo in the latest J.D. Power and associates vehicle dependability study!! I love it :w00t:Like a Rock

In newengland the bigdig project is heated on the radio and all forms of media news....I't was the most exspensive gov't construction project funded by taxpayers....Discussed in th 70's started in 90? finished in 04...Over budget and with flaws, sh-- happens...I found this video of a tunnel in russia that's 3150 meters long, the longest in-city tunnel of europe, there is a river running over it and water leaks at some points...When the temperature reaches -38 degrees ''c'' like it did this winter, the road freezes and the results is this video taken during a single day with a tunnel cam, check out the bus. Educational and entertaining http://rcandersonmarketing.podomatic.com/e...T11_42_37-07_00 Also located in the above link is a six minute reflection of recent education and how technologies are used as a learning tool... http://www.podomatic.com/s/politics?p=3&t=# Education and technolgy as a tool. http://www.educationau.edu.au/jahia/Jahia/whatschanged http://www.tedi.uq.edu.au/events.asp

I realize that, I wanted to bring potentiall waste in other gov't forms besides social programs....lib or con = taxpayers funding all the programs the gov't comes up with....I believe fiscal restraint is necessary in all expenditures to reign in the budget and debt....Doesn't mean I'm pro lib or pro con, just searching for a middle ground that we might all agree that fiscal restraint covers the spectrum in goverment programs.....Believe this, I am pro defense and pro social programs with fiscal oversight and restraint....Nasa is a goverment program that has brought marvelous technologies and insight into the cosmos, but there is waste. Social Welfare did the same, but there is waste and dire consequeces to human lazinees and greed..At the same time it helps humanity when they are in need. Duel edged sword arguments and I'm trying to find a sheath to progress in the discussion without slaying one political faction over another...Hippie centrist in a blue collar job posting on ppp...There are some smart cats in this forum and their insight is informative..And the shots across the bow are entertaining in the thread process.....I'm totaly serial with acid drops that color my world in psychadelics

I will add a typed statement later, for now here's a 2 links, on what the defense department has funded for weapons that the human mind can conjure, and the lack of scientific review to discredit and deny funding to these Sci- fi weapons that have cost taxpayers $ without any credible results..Another form of welfare without restraint.. http://imaginaryweapons.net/ http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002495.html

Thank you for those kind words my fellow human holcombs arm with a prosethetic arm The gov't is to soft with some rules....For instance when I was in school and fugged off my teachers could confront my lazyness with a variety of corrections. Unfortunately now there are lawsuits for spanking a kid or trying to correct bad behaviour with a variety of displinary actions....Teachers are leery of crossing the NEW line established by the gov't that was lobbied by do gooders... My best teachers got through my goofiness to learning in school with challenging me in a variety of ways, best ones taught me to learn with a unigue perspective on how these subjects relate to life and gave examples that made sense to ME. If a teacher punished me WITH a slap or sent me to a corner or the principle.. The only result was me being suspended and goofing off in the street, and I became vindictive toward those teachers and principles, I would be creative in my tactics to settle a score...I would steal the teachers answer books for test, make copies at the library and sellem to students...Or just fall asleep in class and drool and snore..I was an ****....Now my dad was rarely at home due to his travelling work on the rails....Mom was to tiny to hurt me, although a great talker in yelling at me.....When dad came home if I messed up he would kick me in the azz and knock me in the noggin and order me to clean the yard or garage.. I obeyed otherwise I get another size 12 steel toed herman survivor in my buttocks, that fuggin hurt for weeks, but it changed my attitude for the better.. Your right about intelligence and humans, I do not know of any accurate test to determine who will be productive and who will not based on test.... Nutrition and education in a variety of applications is a good way to combat learning fatiqueness....In my opinion, this could be a great thread on the subject you started holcombs arm, I would like to delve into this discussion and read other posters opinions and analysis on this issue....And try to narrow the causes and corrections to better humanity in the U.S and elsewhere....Rock on my friend.

I lived in the projects and dropped out of highschool in the 10th grade. My dad worked his azz off and now pulls down a $100 grand a year working 80 hours a week....In my family line of about 200 we have railroad workers, floor installers, waste managegement super visors, Rn's, one neuro surgeon, retali employees, couple of criminals , and One welfare recipient....Many college graduates.....My cousin micheal who was educated in catholic schools and went to boston latin, earned a scholarship to northeastern for 4 years due to his his intellect and being in the top 10% of his class..... Micheal at 16 was a heavy gambler and ran into $20grand debt with a bookie.. My papa had to pay off the debt....Mike who lived in dorchester also hung out with a bad element, they did all kind's of sh--, one so severe the schollarship was pulled by northeastern...He ended up doing para legal work for a boston attorney, and to make fast cash on the side before becoming fulltime started a drug distrubution buisness...He was sucessfull, bought house and all kinds of sh--, his partner got pinched and setup mike in a 200lb pot deal in revere mass... His fiances dad was a mass state trooper he had some legal pull. 200lb's of pot got mike 16 months, at first he served 2 months at southbay which is the worst for a whitekid...He then transfered to billerica HOC, a suburban jail.. Anyway,when released he scored a job on the bigdig, cut his leg with a concrete cut saw and recieved workers comp that pays 900 a week and goes to night school in boston and just learns what ever he wants.... Rich or poor, smart or average and below average...It' personal desire to excel. I believe welfare has to be overhauled along with corporate welfare... Welfare of any kind is abused and should be dealt with more scrutiny to weed out the scammers... Look at the defense deptartment, they did fund remote viewers and phycics.. Zero gravity, nuclear hand grenades and a wild assortment of imaginary weapons at a cost of billions that never produced fruit... Oversight on all goverment expenditures is really needed, and a concensus of the scientific community on fictional ideas that are funded in the defense dept, would help to curb that fraud as well as stringent qualifications on any welfare that is available.....Money is a game and everyone wants to play it, be it good or bad. I admire anyone whos works hard without having to recieve welfare when they honestly don't need it... Be it rich or poor, libs and cons all favor welfare of some sort.....Oversight on all welfare programs will alleviate rampant abuse that is common in gov't giveaways, just saying.. I ramble sometimes, just my nature as a stoner loser burnout high school flunkie.. But I have worked hard and never relied on any welfare of any kind...Blood sweat and tears is what I have relied on, I'm a blue collar deadhead

What about genious out of neccessity... There are children raised in poor and working poor households that become innovators and entrepreneurs in this country and every country on the planet. Being raised in a poor household by poor parents does not mean these children will follow the same path 100% of the time....I have met plenty of people raised on the wrong side of the tracks who have contributed to our society beyond holding down a factory job or being a manager ... Rich or poor some humans have more Desire to excell above and beyond those around them...I also have met rich slackers and poor slackers that kick back and make do with whats available to them and also contribute to society in areas of kindness and helpfullness or not... Maybe it's I just rolled out of bed and read your post, but you appear to be a hardliner 2nd cup of coffee is on the way

Deductive reasoning Lotsa chirping I have to tread softly in a thread or it's back to the base of kilimanjaro EII takecare man, I'm hitting the rack.

That youtube of one love is amazing rendition sung buy a women with power. Jazz is cool, I got into it by followwing the dead around the eastern seaboard and poping into nightclubs with an array of bands playing a to z in musical genres.. One night in exeter n.h. phillips academey college kids put on a jazz show at the bank vault restaurant and played jazz to the deads dark star with a heavy dose of stand up base and sax and fantastic jazz drumming...I was installing flooring for the owner and she hooked me and my crew up with free bar service and a front row table as a tip....The bartender was a wicca witch with a slinky black dress and an evil body

Thats not a weepy story, just the way it was, I dropped out of school in the the 10th grade, and recieved my ged a year later....Went on to become a subcontrator in the the construction trades at 19....Tried a stint in electrical and plumbing and night school to become liscensed, the economy tanked in 90 and I fell back into flooring..... Like I said before I claim to be a stoner,loser burnout, highschool flunkie. And I am but I manage and accept reality with determination to at least improve myself without Goverment handouts and such offerings that are available be it for the poor working class or ultra wealthy... I'm totally serial

In 1982 my father and mother were having financial difficulties due to the union busting that was rampant in the country at the time...Shortly after the airtraffic controllers being fired, my fathers railroad company owned by the wealthy mellon family in pittsburgh went after the labor contract and slashed wages benny's, work orders, layed off brakeman and essential crew members, and sold new engines and replaced them with inferior used and sometimes unsafe quality engines, some workers did die at that time due to faulty equipment to improve the bottom line and increase the stock value..The Strike lasted over a year.. I was 13, I washed dishes at a restaurant to 2 am 5 night a week.. I also did yardwork, collected aluminum, went to a golf course at night and caught night crawlers and sold them to a bait store..In school I sold bubblegum ,candy, soda, trinkets and whatever the schoolkids would buy(no drugs) I also delivered newspapers and salvaged minibikes and junk out of the trash and fixedem and sold em so I could help my parents.. Mom and dad still worked but dads income was $35.000 less and they had a mortgage and auto loans to contend with, Interest rates were not so good back then. 7:30 am was english class with teacher doc cote, I would not do the work assignments he issued out to the class, lazy and tired is my reason.. Doc was a hippy and a very smart individual for a teacher, he made a deal with me, that while in his class I had to do something besides sleep or stare out the window. The deal was to read a book from his bookshelves once a week. I agreed and because of his alternative idea to teach me in english class I became a voracious reader of books..I have read over a thousand books since then on an array of subjects...I still am not decent in ''grammar'' I bought my computer one year ago, never used one before to type or do anything besides read about sports and politics and field and stream outdoor websites, and porn while using a friends computer. I now type with two fingers and know how to youtube and my spelling has dramatically improved.....One day my grammar malfunctions will be better,,,,,,,,
