Other than a geometric increase of the population whereas we only have
a fixed about of resources? Frankly, I believe that the planet would
be better off with just a quarter of the people who are currently
populating it... Of course, in my position of The Arbiter of Truth in
The Universe, I get to choose which 75% to remove... If a tough job,
but someone's got to do it...

I trust you'll start with the man in the mirror. :-)

Are you saying that implanting them in the left hand or the butt is
more acceptable to you?

Neither is acceptable to me.

Why would *that* happen?

because it is uneconomic to produce and to transport?
or maybe it becomes uneconomic?

steam engines also gone away in industrial production ....

This makes no sense at all. How so?

profiling.

profiling can also be done with knowing all the facts about the people
around you. eg: the percentage of dogfood sold in your neighborhood is
higher than average. Then one can assume that you too might have a dog
(without knowing that you buy dogfood).

So you want your market to be protected (by and from government, in this
case).

Well, I'll be dead before that happens.

That doesn't change the fact that it's true.

what will you (OK, you can fuel auto-gas) do when they announce that avgas

Given the high number of charter business planes that use 100LL, I
don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

The price may well become unbearable, however. (Although prices here
on all grades of gas have dropped 5% in the last week or two.)

No, we don't have effective passenger rail transport

It takes 5 hours to travel from London to Edinburgh by train, at a
cost of around £80 ($160). Whereas, book early enough, and you can fly
from London Luton (about 30 miles out of London) to Edinburgh with low
cost carrier easyJet.com for around £20 ($40) in just under 50
minutes.

The train is scheduled at 4.5 hours, and Easyjet at 1.25 hours. I found
Easyjet fares for tomorrow at £140, and if you book early enough on the
train, you can find fares as low as £12.50.

The choice of mode really depends on where you are, and where you are
going. If you are in central London, you can arrive at KX only 15
minutes before departure, and be on your way. If you need to go to Luten
or Stansted to catch Easyjet, you need to start out at least 2 hours
ahead, to get to the airport in time to catch the flight. Transportation
to and from the airport adds to the cost, of course. Plus it takes 45
minutes to get into Edinburgh when you arrive at the other end.

Any way you look at it, the trip is still pretty long.

Now, if you lived near Luton, Stansted, or Gatwick, it would be a whole
different calculation, or if you were destined to a place part-way to
Edinburgh, like York or Newcastle.
