No matter what anybody says people are, deep down, inherently greedy horrible little bastards. How some people manage to rise above it and collaborate on anything is one of the amazing mysteries of life.
Jeremy Clarkson did a special where he came to America and drove a bunch of American vehicles and commented on how horrible they are. He especially made fun of the "no substitute for cubes" American ethic. TV is the real enemy, people get seated in front of that idiot box and I swear it literally sucks their brains out through their eyes. It convinces them that everybody needs perfect teeth, then of course they need airbags in their car to protect their teeth. Then polishes to clean the teeth, better clothes to compliment the teeth and of course a world of food to chew with the teeth. Can't afford perfect teeth? Well then theres a world of drugs to make you forget how ugly you are... Etc. The irony is when you remember I work in the television industry... -Curt Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2007 12:35:52 +0930 From: Hendrik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fix or Sell? killer R12 To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Nobody wants to be the 'boy who cried wolf' but I guess we can wait till we have conclusive proof that we are damaging the environment and then perhaps think about ways we could possibly perhaps maybe reduce emissions by .0008%. Perhaps instead of buying that 7 liter SUV to ferry the kids to soccer, we'll opt for the 6.8 liter and get that warm fussy feeling that we have personally saved the planet from becoming a hot house. The question is, will it hurt us to be more efficient in our use of energy and will it hurt us to think about stuff apart from our own personal comfort levels. I know it does hurt some. --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha! Play Monopoly Here and Now (it's updated for today's economy) at Yahoo!
