Another thing rarey (if ever) discussed - maintenance of physical ability degrades much more slowly in men than in women at the extrmemes. In other words, women have a more difficult time maintaining a high level of physical capability over time. This will mean greater turn-over (likely), lowering standards for annual…

There are two types of people - those who think there are two types of people and those who don’t.

Wow. Not one person saying ‘let the market decide’. Most depressing comments section ever.

All right Doug! If you ever want to compare and contrast your 2007 and to my 2015, let me know. Enjoy it!

The fact that they are involved in more accidents (per mile) than human drivers is irrelevent as human drivers are now - and will continue to be - a part of the experience of driving. The ‘benefits’ of SDC’s really only occur when the human is taken out of the equation, something I contend will never (and should…

Actually more likely to be in an accident. Just sayin’.

Apparently. And a website.

People fear what they don’t understand, and most don’t understand pollution. Strangely, people also fear stuff they are told to, without bothering to find out if they should be afraid. People are idiots.

He is greatly looking forward to taxing the crap out of gasoline. Not a freind of car people.

I just made the exact same comment on the pretty blond in the lead photo. Time kind of sucks, doesn’t it.

And no A.I.D.S. And very cool used cars (the new ones sucked, but you could get anything from the ‘60’s pretty cheap.

That pretty blond with the softball equipment? She’s now at least sixty years old.

I turned 16 in ‘77, so you can imagine how depressed (vehicularly) my teenage years were. On the bright side, however, you could easily buy some PHENOMENAL used cars for almost nothing. I owned a ‘55 Chevy, a ‘49 Mercury, a ‘67 Lincoln and a ‘68 Charger. Had I been smarter I would have bought the Aston DB6 for $4,000…

And let’s not forget that the only American convertible in ‘76 was the Caddilac. At least in ‘75 you could still get a Chevy, Buick, Pointiac and Oldsmobile (though they were all mostly the same car). ‘76 was a horrible, horrible year. ‘77 wasn’t much better, and ‘78 was pretty bad as well.

Please, whatever you do save enough to also purchase a non-lighted microphone. The one you have looks like a teenage girls idea of a Tony Stark accessory.

Both were police, not military.

Ohio National Guard. Not active service military personnel. Perhaps you don’t understand the difference.

Our police are not active duty military personnel. They are employed by local or state governments (with the exception of the FBI and Homeland Security), and they do not routinely shoot unarmed civilians. Perhaps your police do, but not ours.

And I should also say that the distinction between “Line” and “Staff” is much different than it used to be. So kind of an archaic reference by me I’m afraid.

Likely because there are always some people who just ‘follow orders’, and a smart government would do a pretty big propaganda effort in advance making ‘right’ and wrong’ be a little more murky. Also because any government has access to quite a lot of alternative methods available to them these days - judicial,…
