Guess that .1% chance ruled. ;)

Thought their little sports car was spiffy. :victory:

That article is outdated, my beast loving friend. After Downey had a lock on the deal, Tesla pulled out at the last minute and decide to joint venture with Toyota and build the cars in Northern California.

Their new four door is at a decidedly lower price point...in any case Tesla just had one of the best IPO's in history. They got a boat load of cash...now they gotta go out their and sell these cars...while they still have money to make them.

<<The City Council paid nearly $10,000 for a half-page, full-color recruitment ad in the L.A. Times, and delivered a gift basket to Muskfs SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne. >>

Im guessing it wasn't a good gift basket. :hehe:

Trust me. Those horseless carriages are far too rich for my blood. Moreover, my rodents serve me well...running in those hamster wheels to pull my cart to market.

So is that considered Hamster Power or Rat power? :headscratch:

Sorry Kijinnmaru I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you.

No need to apologize. Life would be boring if we always agreed. But let's break this down.

Things that people want the most like their freedom or the ability to vote or have a decent place to live or raise a family, be able to eat on a daily basis ...are mostly common human interests. These types of issues stem from the basic heart and mind of most decent human beings.

Freedom, the ability to vote, desire for a decent home, these do not come from the heart of humans. These are learned desires. In the absence of knowlege of such things, humans do not desire them. This has been shown the world over from closed societies that have never been exposed to them. In fact, the statement that all humans desire freedom is absolutely wrong and runs opposite to what the real world has shown us. Humans, at the most basic level, do not desire freedom. They desire security and stability, or the illusion of it.

Interests change when the human heart changes at its'most basic level. Anger, greed and stupidity exist because some humans haven't tapped into their higher natures yet.

Anger, greed, and stupidity aren't what changes interests to cause war. In fact, the very examples you've listed as coming from the basic heart and mind of decent human beings has long been the causes of war. It did not take perversion of these "basic interest of decent humans"; the reasons themselves were enough to go to war.

Pacifism is in each one of us, we weren't all born violent and warlike, we have to allow it to come forth on a daily basis in everything we think, say and do. I am just realistic enough to believe that peace is possible.

Again, it's the other way around. Pacifism is learned, not born with. We were born with the drive to survive, and the ability to perform violence to do so. As I've said before, pacifism can not exist where the environment doesn't allow it. Those who preach pacifism do so from the cloistered protection provided by others willing to kill on their behalf. They would not have that luxury if the violence came to their doorstep. So, ironically, pacificm was born out of the comfort provided by war.

On hot dogs(or hotlinks, polish, brats, etc): ketchup, DELI mustard(brownish, pungent, and spicy, not that yellow stuff), sweet relish, and lots of onions.

On fries: ketchup as standard. I also love gravy fries. The thick gravy.

Mayo..... :bleh: , but that's just me.

Hence the need for the saying, "Dont kick a man when he is down."

Taking down a lesser member of a pack is instinct for almost all species.

On Topic: Onto cheerier subjects.

Off for a boogie boarding day! :yippee:

Yeah, I typically use Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard... But no catsup.

Gravy? Hmmm.

I do like chili cheese fries, though. :victory:

I love mayo... But it has to be Best Foods/Hellman's... Any other is :bleh:

Same idea but with a lot more rubber bands... There should be a boom in the rubber band industry in a year or so. :mrgreen:
