I do agree with Chris about water. Its the next oil, wars will be fought over it. They want to control, like Chris said, even the rain run off. They will put a meter on private wells! The food is already controlled by the big boys, now the water, the air you breath. Have you ever seen X's in the sky, did you ever see them when you were a kid???? People are so busy trying to make a living because our jobs went over seas that they don't even have time to look up!! SAD!!

Reminds me of the kids movie "The Lorax" (originally by Dr Seuss). They cut down all the trees therefore theres no oxygen, therefore you have to buy air to breathe!


I just hope Im dead by the time all this comes about


To change the subject and relieve some tension, gotta question for ya guys: What would you do to freshen up a late '97 7.3L before install

Don't be mistaken, I'm not blaming him, quite the opposite actually.

Till we find full alternatives that really do in fact cover all aspects its a moot discussion.

Oh snap!
How many miles are on it?
I'd fix anything that looks like it is or will soon be leaking oil plus rebuilding the oil cooler before I dropped it in. Check and replace GP as needed. Clean it up and paint it. I'm sure there is a whole host of other things you could do also.

I don't think you really started a pissing match. Seems like everyone is pretty much on the same page. It's not that coal's bad, it's just the cost of using coal when you put all the new regulations into effect makes in less desirable.

It's not a result of the product, it's a result of the current administration. The only thing I really, really don't understand is why so much of the coal country voted for this administration to begin with. I really thought that the first election was going to go different just because the coal states wouldn't vote for him.

Guess they should have looked up the definition of change first.
