"I Believe" License Plates May Never "See the Light of Day"
OK There are a few problems with this. 1. The Lt Gov paid the fee and will be reembersed no body eles gets thier fee back. 2. If I want a image of a different religion I could do so following the same process and fee but I couldn’t have “I believe” under it. Why? I would be proclaiming my belief. I wouldn’t get my fee back. I wouldn’t get my plate fast tracked through the commity. There is a deffinate apperence of bias here favoring christianity. 3. The real problem here is the APPERENCE of the state favoring 1 religion over another. There are a few ways to fix this. 1 The Lt Gov needs to with draw his money I am sure some church or another could raise the money very quickly to pay the fee and not be reembersed. 2. Any plate with religious implacations should be allowed to have the words “I Believe” across the bottom. Maybe even go as far as that being the only phrase allowed on a religious plate. 3.Any religious group requesting a plate like this should have thiers fast tracked as this one was. limiting the words at the bottom to “I Believe” would facilitate this. It would also show equality. I am not against this plate what I don’t like is the limitations against the other plates not being allowed to use the same phrase”I Believe”. I also am against the fact that an elected official paid the fee and will get his money back when no other group would. The Lt Gov should have known better. He should have known this would be seen as him and through him the state indorcing one religion above another. Remember apperence is everything even in the court of law and public opnion. The only exception to the “I Believe” phrase would be for the non-believers plates which would get “I Don’t Believe” at the bottom. I really think I just solved everybodies problems.

Article: ethanol blends get lower gas mileage too
http://www.hemp4fu el.com/ Henry Ford had a car that ran on hemp seed oil almost 100 years ago. For bio mass fuels hemp is the word it's a weed and will grow anywhere. Keep our food and feed grains for food and feed. weed for the gas tank. (Jun 27, 2008 | post #65)
FCC considers making 'product integration' clearer
Anyone who argues about this is an idiot. It's been a known fact that TV shows and Movies as well as video games have been used in this way for years. There is no news in this story It's just another way our government is waisting tax dollars on stupid schit. If our government wants to inform the public how about labeling our food so we know where it comes from. Every person with any sense knows if you see a product in a movie there was compensation. Car companies do this and have been for ever. In many cases the product companies don't charge for the spot they agree to let their product to be used simply for the advertisement value. There is an agreement between the producers and product companies to assure the product is not presented in a negitive manner. A new and easy example is the movie the transporter you think that BMW or Audi wasn't a way to advertise their new model. Converse Athletic in I Robot (The black hightops Wil Smith puts on). Video games like Need For Speed from EA games have buildings and billboards in the game with Best Buy and Burger King as well as other companies you see when driving the game. I see Coke cans all over TV and Movies and sporting events funny thing is I still only drink Pepsi. This is just complete ignorance on the part of our elected officials and government. A total waste of tax dollars. (Jun 27, 2008 | post #31)

Abstinence works when practiced!!!
Well I would say yea you are right. The only problem is if you ony teach abstinence you are not being realistic. All forms of safe sex need to be taught or we loose any progress we have made in reducing unwanted pregnancy or the spread of STD's. Papi might I sugest self sex for you so we can reduce the problem of limited intellengence. No need for you to breed we have enough small minded people in the world already. (Jun 22, 2008 | post #6)
