    OJ Sentenced

    I hope so. My heart goes out to Fred Goldman (Ron's father). Actually, he may not be too happy over this, as it makes it completly impossible to get more money out of OJ. But in spite of several judgements he only got a pittance anyway, so maybe he is a little bit happy.

    Limit executive salaries?

    Much as I wish it were true, I don't believe your methods will work. Companies will find ways to get around the rules. The only sure way to limit the excesses of modern CEO salaries is to encourage and strengthen labor unions. In the 19th century there were no unions. People like the Robber...

    Do you camp or RV?

    We tent camped for 15 years while the kids were growing up. We carried 25 gallons of water which we used only for cooking, drinking, and dish washing (no bathing---we roughed it). So we never had to worry whether or not the campground had water. Great times!!! Now we have an empty nest and...

    How much did your wedding cost?

    In 1980 we paid about $2000. Her parents were flat broke and mine were poor, so it was all on us. Most of the cost was for the reception for about 50 people. It was in a very plain hall and the food was not at all fancy. We spent $400 on the honeymoon, which was three nights at the Death Valley...

    Best musical decade

    I voted the 60's, which is only natural since I graduated both high school and college in that decade. But I have found plenty to love and to hate from the 50's to the present. This thread is obviously about popular Western rock. There are many other types of music out there. After my exposure...

    'Lectro cars and electric utilities

    Distributed rooftop collectors involve the manufacture of a huge number of solar cells. Some of the raw materials for these are in limited supply and are expensive (energy-wise) to obtain. Also, in many parts of the country, there is not enough sunshine for rooftop collectors to pay for...

    'Lectro cars and electric utilities

    I wasn't talking about the burning of hydrogen in the fuel cell. I was talking about the burning of other fuels necessary to separate the hydrogen so it can be used as fuel. No one thinks there are ZERO consequences to massive use of solar energy. The human population is so huge that nothing we...

    'Lectro cars and electric utilities

    Yes, but we are emitting FAR more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the plants can process, which is why the concentration of carbon dioxide keeps rising and thus the earth's average temperature keeps rising. Also, deforestation means the plants have even less of a chance to help.

    'Lectro cars and electric utilities

    I am disappointed to see all the talk of continued use of fuels which have to be burned (natural gas, propane, gasoline in all its forms including E-85, and even fuel cells). Making the hydrogen to run fuel cells is not trivial. Yes, hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. But it...
