People tend to want the govt involved because it makes their goal easier to achieve. The kids in the movie also summon the devil because they want their goal. Both tend to get what they deserve. Have you ever seen a bill go thru as just one simple idea? It goes thru, they tack on all sorts of stuff to it and pervert it. In the end, we tend to get it right in the end and without KY either. We take it like a man.

Back to the Chicken and Egg, aren't we? To get diesels more popular, part of it is to get more filling stations. To get more filling stations, you have to get diesel more popular. I mentioned this before but people seemed not to believe that there were places outside Madison, WI that had few filling stations that carried diesel
