Hey, speak for yourself Geode. That assertion <people do irrational, illogical things all the time. It's called the reptilian brain and it's much more powerful than the rational one.>
is part of your irrational, illogical thinking which you assert you have:
Since you claim to be irrational and illogical, how come you think you can make a rational and logical argument? Which you have obviously not made.
I am of course highly rational, logical and perspicacious. Not to mention percipient, perceptive and prognosticating. As well as other things which don't begin with "p".
You were illogical and irrational again here: <Emotions are much more powerful than logic which is why things like perfume and cars which go way over the speed limit exist>
Speed limits are set by irrational and illogical government spivs who are clueless and lacking in intelligence. Cars which go way over the speed limit are made so people can go as fast as they want to go, irrespective of what some dopey government spiv decides they should do.
Some places, speed limits are 100 kph here, and I couldn't go faster than 30 kph. There are thousands of kilometres of such roads in New Zealand. Which means there is no speed limit there, since they could make it a million kph and people wouldn't go any faster than they already choose to go.
But on a huge, safe motorway, the dopey spivs set limits of 80 kph, or as slow as 50 kph in some construction areas where 80 kph would be fine. Yesterday, being a very law-abiding person, I did the speed limit for a few kilometres heading towards Auckland and ended up with two kilometres of vehicles behind me. There was no way they could overtake so it was just a huge, unnecessary delay. Being the front car, I wouldn't want to break the speed limit as a quota-seeking revenue collecting police vehicle or radar detector could ping me for a fat fee and demerit points.
I would not be surprised if there were deaths due to frustration as people finally got free and did dangerous overtaking moves using their reptilian brains in charge of a very fast car to make up lost time. Which of course can't be made up. It has gone forever. But government spivs can't understand that due to their genetic defects and irrational, illogical, reptilian brains.
<The end of the era of gasoline.
Yes, it is ending after only a few hundred years. The rise in price is indicative of a problem of supply and demand. >
Really? Blow me down. That sounds like one of those capitalist free market principles I mentioned. I didn't know irrational, illogical, reptilians could understand that.
But don't hold your breath. It won't be ending for a long time yet. We NEED the CO2 in the atmosphere and hydrocarbons are a great way to power a vehicle.
By the way, did you see that the extra CO2 is saving water because plants don't need to open their stomata thingies so much or respire so much water, which means water tables are rising and plants can do more with less. As I have explained for decades.
Of course, in the eco-bible, every such advantage of people doing things has to have a countervailing environment woe of greater proportion than the benefit. So now the Greenie tree-huggers [after whining about potential water-wars as the water supplies are depleted] are worrying about extra flooding.
I suppose they are more of the irrational, illogical, reptilian types you described.
<I do think your attitude toward life is very cold and brutish. We have enough resources to give every single human being a decent life but they are squandered every single day for greed and venality.>
Fortunately, our wonderful 8 month old grandson doesn't agree with you, and we have a great time. He seems to think I'm not at all brutish and quite warm. He likes my contribution to his life.
Meanwhile, would you please stop squandering resources every single day to satisfy your greed and venality? Try sitting in a lotus position and saying "ommmmmm" for a while. Just drink water for 24 hours.
