Detroit 3 win Ben Stein's money support {Autoblog}

Jan 4th 2009 4:10PM Wow you are an idiot, BoxerFanatic. Science involves using inductive reasoning to build a hypothesis from observed phenomenon, and then testing the hypothesis deductively in a system called the scientific method. If the hypothesis holds up over time it is garnered a theory. Otherwise it is considered disproved and is no longer scientifically relevant. "Intelligent Design" has no place in science because it relies on "faith" instead of the scientific method as its proof. The definition of faith is belief without logical cause or reason, therefore it has no place in academia.

Congratulation BoxerFanatic! You've won Ben Stein's dunce hat!

Jan 4th 2009 3:21PM Sorry, but Ben Stein is not, and never has been, a "smart guy." His recent movie "Expelled" is most certainly proof enough of that. He is dunce, or a fraud artist at best.

Cheap gas saves Americans $1B per day {Autoblog}

Dec 28th 2008 3:28PM God, I wish there were more people as smart as you. Literally no one seems to understand this concept.

Cheap gas saves Americans $1B per day {Autoblog}

Dec 28th 2008 2:51PM No, michael, because to most American's the question between a fuel-efficient/hybrid/alternative car and a standard model is not "is this what's best for the country" or "will this diminish my personal contribution to our dependence on foreign oil" or even "will this make me less responsible for air pollution and climate change." The only question that ever holds any weight is "which one of these choices is a better deal over the life cycle of the car." Until the price of gas is increased to reflect the true costs of US government oil subsidies (paid by income taxes), US military operations in the middle east to "stabilize" the supply chain (paid by income taxes), healthcare costs due to air pollution (soon will be paid by income taxes), and the inevitable costs involved in mitigating future environmental catastrophe, Americans will continue to make the uneducated choice.

Ex-Tesla VP Siry calls for either taxing up gas prices or dropping CAFE {Autoblog Green}

Dec 27th 2008 3:43PM Sometimes the job of the government, harlanx6, is to save the public from their own stupidity (of which you apparently have quite a bit). You clearly didn't understand a word I wrote, or you would have responded with a logical argument. The sad truth is that the American people are too short-sided to buy more efficient or alternative vehicles just because they burn less gas and pollute less. THIS IS FACT: When gas was about $3/gal consumers stopped buying wasteful SUVs. Now that gas is back down below $2/gal, SUV sales are spiking again. The only calculation they care about when picking between comparable vehicles is "which choice costs less." A gas tax is inevitable and requisite so people start making smart choices, recession or not

Dec 26th 2008 5:47AM Give me a break, idiot. You've clearly don't understand the concept of a negative externality. The cost you pay for gas does not reflect it's actual cost to our nation (and world) as a whole. True social price of oil addiction = what you see at the pump (private cost) + increased health care costs (due to pollution) + middle eastern "stability" fees (over a trillion U$D last decade) + the countless billions we'll probably have to spend mitigating the effects climate change. Increasing the price of gasoline to reflect the true price of gas, instead of subsidizing it like we currently do, is the most necessary step in making alternatives cost competitive and attractive to consumers.
