THL,
it’s funny when you feel them pushing you with their elbow or their knee. From what I understand, it’s like, hey come out of there so I can see who’s been kicking my liver all this time. 🙂
kensingtonian,
you mean you didn’t know you had an entire generation of economists basing their work on your theories?
We Drive
During the week:
2-3x locally or to other nabes in Brooklyn.
Weekends: we’re road warriors and sometimes drive great distances. We took two 8-hour (one way) trips last year. Plus, 2x to Boston.
And most weekends (if I’m working), we go away about 2-hrs from here.
when it seems overwhelming is when you keep it simple.
this is not only true in economic theory but in life as well I would venture to say.
People want jobs and economic stability.
government spending doesn’t do that, at least not for any sustained period of time, this is from historical example.
give people the incentive to create a new business, let them keep more of their taxes and keep them safe from our enemies. Keep government smaller not larger.
Hugo Chavez and Castro never seemed like successful role models for societal and economic reform as a result of big government intervention (not saying we’re going there, but that’s what they sold their dictatorships to the people on). No matter how much Seann Penn and Michael Moore say so.
How do I know this? because I’ve spoken to people with family living under their type of reform for decades without relief and much hope for their dreams. chavez can’t even seem to get it together enough to send relief to Haiti, instead he chooses to spend his time criticizing the American soldiers making a difference there. nice.

Any Guesses to the amount?

DIBS and I both prefer Keen Asians.

I have my own people? Do they all live in Kensington? Who knew!
ET, do you get your tank filled each time like I do???
Legion- Sorry, I posted my response to Kens when it was supposed to be directed back to you and your question. My bad.
TextperV, I anticipate my gas total would beat your total by 35%
ExTex – How often do you drive? You know that going at ultra-high speed uses more gas, don’t you? And hitting people also causes gas guzzling.
