If we had one I would love to see who would hop in when my wife pulled up to the “Slug Line” for the 45 mile trip to the Pentagon.

It seems that people like you, Willie, are not trying help mankind advance but take them back to worse times.

Leave no doubt, those previous years were worse in more ways than they were better. Our liberties and the free market gave us the choice to move forward and we, as a society, made those choices. Up till now those choices have made for better, longer lives and if we keep those freedoms our lives will get even better and longer.

Glorifying the olden days by forgetting the sickness and miseries and glorifying some of the quaint things does not make for true progress.

You're obviously a dark-hearted spirit with little sense of humor.
Your wife should dump you.

Oooooooh. I hit a nerve!

[Willie Green]

You simply exposed the true nature of your character.

It looks safe. /sarcasm

—careful—that last suggestion might light up the “greens” to suggest running electric vehicles on pathways under power lines, using your method for power—after all that wouldn’t use any , would it?

Just think how fast it can go after a trip to Taco Bell.

Or why not have an aquarium with electric eels?

My hovercraft is full of them.
