Avgas Where is the ceiling?
"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... In case you haven't noticed, America doesn't conquer people. We come in, save your ass, and go home. As "conquered peoples" go, "Native Americans" have come out pretty well. Certainly better than MY ancestors. I always get a laugh out of those who say the land belonged to the American Aborigines since the AA's had no concept of land ownership and, as nomadic wanderers, didn't really occupy the land in any sense we'd call "proprietorship". BTW...how did the AA's come to occupy an area of land in the first place? That's right, they _conquered_ it. As they did, they slaughtered each other for generations. Those constant wars don't happen anymore. (Not to mention the constant raids to rape the other tribes cattle and steal their women) For all their faults, the "white" people brought a way of dealing with ownership and disputes over ownership. |

In article , Martin Hotze wrote: What's the best place to fight a war? abroad, where else. better to destroy their country than mine. but this doesn't solve the root cause why the war started. complain to the people who started the war. I'm sure they'll be very receptive to said complaints. |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... Give everybody his fair share? You're an idiot. well, what are the alternatives? fighting those wars until some wacko hits the red button and fires all those nukes (even firing one is enough)? what's next? get a broader view, please. The alternative is certainly not "giving everyone his fair share"...whatever THAT is. And what about the people that created that stuff he wants to redistribute? |

".Blueskies." wrote in message news:YJw2g.13688 The problem here is that we are continuing to pay those 'hidden' expenses and taxes while also paying the ever increasing costs of the gasolene. The prices are being driven by speculators, not by true demand, and the profits are exorbitant. China and India tripling and quadrupling their consumption is not a "true demand"? |

wrote in message news:Q2D2g.767$yI1.26@trnddc04... On 22-Apr-2006, Roger wrote: We are going to see the demand for high grade avgas drop to the point where it will become unavailable. Then we'll have to find gas without alcohol and additives so we can burn it in the high compression engines. I think that there will still be enough demand for a suitable high octane aviation gasoline that it will be made available -- at some price. The real key is that Continental and Lycoming need to get to work on building engines (and airframe manufacturers need to make fuel tanks and lines) that work with premium mogas, including those with ethanol. Otherwise, the future for light GA aircraft will be diesel http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/182149-1.html |

I would add that most voters have neither the information nor the ability to make sense of it, and DON'T HAVE THE INTERST in doing so. Hey, don't bother me, the ballgame is on... |
