Well, I’ve been away for a week, and returned to find that the issues that I had requested to be settled are not. So, I have decided to issue answers (in alpha order) for the hot topics debated on the board. I am including an auto related issue to keep with the MB sprit of MS-SF.

Abortion: legal where I reside.

Downloading: I will continue to “capture” any music I desire totally free of charge from the public airwaves for my own personal use. Convenient? No. Legal? Yes. It's like Steely Dan said: “FM, no static at all” ©®™

Oil: use pretty much anything, just change it frequently.

Politics: I voted for Perot, twice! It should be clear that I can not provide the answer, as I do not even understand the questions.

Religion: I can positively identify only one higher power- the almighty turbo.


Your mileage and opinion may vary.

Nice to see someone else can bring up the "hot issues" and keep a sense of humor about the whole "debate/offend people" issue too.

thanks stefano, the recent "tone" was WAY too negative.

it seemed to me that a combination of a few intent on stirring the pot with several thin skinned combatants had really driven the forum to a new low.

i try to keep my posts to be reflections of my opinion without insisting that my position is "right", and that others are "wrong"

winning an argument (add 50 IQ points for debate) on the internet is kinda like being in the special olympics, even if you win, you are still ________.
