Coming from one of the dumbest posters on the board, your insults don’t mean much. So, how’s that whole “I don’t need a high school diploma” working out for you? Still driving a forklift for 5.50 an hour, or have you moved onto something bigger and better like flipping burgers?
No education and never been laid… lol.

College huh? You enrolling at Charter Oak for a general studies degree?
Weren’t you the one screaming about how a college education, or for that matter, ANY education was worthless?
So, I used an A instead of E, whatever. I still have four times the education you do. My annual bonus is still more than an entire year of your wages, and still get laid more than you… so yeah I can understand how attacking someone’s spelling is necessary for to you curve the inadequacies you feel every time you look in the mirror. So, if you need this to make yourself feel better about your sorry existence rot with failure, have at it!
You’re a real life, true to form loser, Harrison. You really are. But, I don’t hate you, I actually feel sorry for you… really I do.
But keep us posted on your adventures with Charter Oak! Maybe you and Mindia can cozy up together in his big rig when you graduate… in six weeks after starting your first class. I’m sure he’ll put in a good for you.
And, by the way... bullshit on never making less than 16 dollars an hour. You're lying.

Damn, that was lame, Diekan. You can do better...just pretend Harrison is a woman.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

After nearly three decades of work, Brazil has succeeded where much of the industrialized world has failed: It has developed a cost-effective alternative to gasoline. Along with new offshore oil discoveries, that's a big reason Brazil expects to become energy independent this year.
At current prices, Brazil can make ethanol for about $1 a gallon, according to the World Bank. That compares with the international price of gasoline of about $1.50 a gallon. Even though ethanol gets less mileage than gasoline, in Brazil it's still cheaper per mile driven. As a result, ethanol now accounts for as much as 20% of Brazil's transport fuel market. The country's use of gasoline has actually declined since the late 1970s. The use of alternative fuels in the rest of the world is a scant 1%.
Yet countries wanting to follow Brazil's example may be leery about following its methods. Military and civilian leaders laid the groundwork by mandating ethanol use and dictating production levels. They bankrolled technology projects costing billions of dollars, despite criticism they were wasting money. Brazil ended most government support for its sugar industry in the late 1990s, forcing sugar producers to become more efficient and helping lower the cost of ethanol's raw material. That's something Western countries are loath to do, preferring to support domestic farmers.
With government support, sugar companies and auto makers' local units delivered cost-saving breakthroughs. "Flexible fuel" cars running ethanol, gasoline or a mixture of both, have become a hit. Car buyers no longer have to worry about fluctuating prices for either fuel because flex-fuel cars allow them to hedge their bets at the pump. Seven out of every 10 new cars sold in Brazil are flex-fuel.
Brazil is also fortunate that sugar is the cheapest way to make ethanol and Brazil has the right conditions for growing the crop -- plenty of land, rain and cheap labor.
