Half the time I cant tell weather im driving on a lava bed or actual roads. Half the time I'd like to grab a gun and march up to the capital and demand to know wtf they are using the 40k + in taxes they get from me every year for. Cause it obviously not going to the **** roads.
Just a suggestion. Be REAL careful about making these kinds of statements on the Interwebs. It could come back to bite you in the butt. Not trying to be a d***. Big Brother is watching.

Instead of being the peoples government, "Big Brother" in recent years has become a defunct, crimminally negligent, lie filled, spending whore that crimminally wastes my and your hard earned money and has managed to become a total slut to the military industrial complex and big time corporations and special interests, get our country into over 12 trillion in debt, wreck fair trade and anti trust laws, ruin american manufacturing, and put us into a world of hurt. They are lucky most people are either cowards, or have no clue whats really going on and are so stupid and fat happy lazy and complacent and content with their vain and empty dances with the stars fast food bent over take it up the butt with taxes life styles.

Among many things, Thomas Jefferson said quote " There should be a revolution once every 200 years." I suppose he didnt like the whole mantra of "The king can do no wrong" and big brother much either. Especially a defunct, criminal, gang like big brother who are friends of theives, and despite the frequent criminal negligence and sometimes commiting henious crimes, such as starting a war on false pretenses and violating international law-the law that we wrote i might add- or a senator spending 100,000 dollars of our tax dollars on plane fares for 1 year, or the sweet little 800k honey mayor down in SoCal when the town average is 35k a year, always seem to come out above the law. You dont pay your taxes? Say hello to neverending debt and jail time. Charlie rangel doesnt pay? Simple slap on the wrist. I am no coward sir, and "Big brother" does not scare me. They are lucky most people are so busy just trying to squeek by to really pay attention to how they are screwing us, and thats how they want us. All you have to do is watch all the brain washing bs on TV about how we glorify people that are dying for the Iraq lie or working 3 jobs caring for 2 kids yadda yadda. We live in the " richest" nation in the world and thousands of people has to work 3 jobs and become a zombie in order to put food on the table? What happened to FDR 2nd bill of rights, oh wait it was Never implimented. And look where we are now.

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.

I guess we missed that part.

Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union[1]:
“ It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure. This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. “Necessitous men are not free men.” People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.
Among these are:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
Americas own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.
For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.

This Bill was never implimented.

Weirdly, my fuel gauge wasn't reading properly using Chevron. Switched to Sunoco and now no problems.

Ordinarily I'd recommend Chevron, but now I'm only putting Sunoco in my Z.

How did this thread head in this direction?

Anyway, read "Winner Take All Politics" -- it will clarify what has happened in the US since the advent and ongoing near-deconstruction of FDR's New Deal policies.

I always used Hess in my turbo G35 and was boosted on the stock motor until 113k miles when I sold it. I'd like to think that the gas had a thing to do with my motor lasting so long.

I've only put Shell in my Z so far. It's not fun filling up at $3.30 a gallon now though
