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.
