Natural Gas hybrids vs. Gasoline hybrids

Why aren't more people riding around the city in Natural Gas and electricity? Natural gas is very clean curtailing exhaust emissions by large percentages. Because at the moment there are very few refueling stations. But my dream would be to see them peppered all over the nation, the world soon! With the proper appliance one can even refuel your natural gas vehicle in the convenience of home at a significant savings. Currently the Honda Civic GX is a vehicle leading the pack toward more responsible driving. I just saw a recycling truck that runs on natural gas turning the corner as I wait for my hybrid bus to pick me up. My concern is why not marry the two—natural gas and electric cars into a new special hybrid?

It has caught on with some business organizations then! Unfortunately, natural gas cars burn more fuel than gasoline cars do; but it is allowable to use the HOV lanes with a single driver in a natural gas vehicle and therefore saving gas that way! Drivers with long commutes would not save more money with natural gas and as we know many who live up north and on the east side would be prime candidates. Sadly there are also not many lobbies for NGVs, so it may be a while before their popularity may spring up; I am betting on the long run that they will though. Government energy policy and tax credits favor gasoline cars and ethanol, but only at the moment they do. However, in a typical 5-year ownership of the car, NGVs only would use two thousand dollars in fuel while a gasoline car spends $8000, but I do not know what a gasoline hybrid costs. Ultimately I want to know what a natural gas hybrid could do. However, it is important to note the increasing cost of gasoline every year. This would not be the case with natural gas as the America's (including Canada and Mexico) have quite a bit of resources for the forseeable future. Your concerns of cleaner air and less problems with our climate issues would also help one make the leap to natural gas hybrids. Bon voyage with a better conscience and fatter wallet!

Hegemony for the Men who moil for Gold

We are coming up on All Hallow's Eve, and waiting in the darkest recesses of our bank books and bank vaults are all manner of ghoul and goblin; hedging bets for the trillions to be made. Criminal banking for the corrupt few. Sadly Democrats and Republicans who allowed this to happen refuse to acknowledge the idiomatic mathematical problem that has been disembowling us for years. This allowable reckless and irresponsible banking and hedge funds are all money extracted through trade, banking and taxes. Our taxes, our banking (only globally for all hard working families and those desperately trying to find work and get hard at it!), and our countrie's trading has been rounded up by our outlaw bought Congress so this illegal expedition can be carried out and they don't care a whit about it's people and it simply needs to be abandoned like what Teddy Roosevelt said back in his day. Screw our useless Congress! Hell, if I could hedge, I would bet that our President doesn't wear a toupee! Derivative evils should be made illegal now, even yesterday! We need a President who acknowledges this serious gadfly issue and will take monster-sized steps in rectifying this hereto issue. I would like to hedge my small, hard-toiled fortune on a belief that the futures in hedging money will end soon, perhaps by some forseable Halloween come hither! Let them moil for profit in the same way us 99% have to. Until then, continue to occupy Wall Street and make the streets safer for Main Street and our children's futures. Let's hedge toward sharing and thanksgiving instead.

Too bad people with closed minds would not have closed mouths also.

Budget

We all know the answer. The banks and Wall Street must be forced to pay for the losses incurred. A progessive tax must be installed so that the majority of the taxes falls on people making over $100,000. People making in the millions, like Senators, need to be taxed thoroughly. We all know the answer.

For love of country

Stand up
against the silence of words
if you work toward something,
hard work,
they will say you stole it.
Do not let them censor things,
do not let them yell in our faces,
do not believe the lies they write,
question what you have heard.
Try try to not let terror throw your mind,
or physically abused, for they will call you
a terrorist. The corporate world will try to
color you as such, when all you stand for is
equality and rights.
Will it be criminal to say "Constitution"
any more?
We must aspire to be more like Mandela,
informed and loving.
Our elders know life on levels
that the young do not yet understand.
Listen to them,
if you have children, you might know
that we must stand for freedom
forever in our land.

"The smoker you drink, the drummer you get."

The Aqualicatist

The Aqualicatist
why we ask about rules not yet shared
sometimes further ever after we divine the rules shared
an artist not easily beguiled
water flowing through streaking mud
ginger chewed to bring on a radar map of storms
double zero I have dialed
relinquishing form
flesh a bringer of liquid form
amid mud and sticks and stones
we evolve against gravity, anarchy, entropy
sometimes further ever after we divine the rules shared
water-born scientists with form
even if the words and rules are all
made up.
