Yes I know this. I also know most cars presently don't have automatic braking and also will not steer the car for you. My present worry is there won't be a way to disable the automatic braking feature in cars being released right now. I was reading about problems with the Nissan electric car called the "Leaf." I read accounts where drivers tapped the brakes and the car would then brake for about 0.5 seconds. Doesn't sound like much but there can be a substantial reduction in speed in half a second.

I can just imagine while you are driving down the road you hit a bump in your fancy new car. The brakes apply and the car begins to slows down to pull off on the side of the road. The operating system in the car says: "Please wait: rebooting."

I work in the Information Technology industry. I completely agree with what you have just said.

I am close to breaking 1,000 posts. On another forum I visit I have close to 4,300 postings. I doubt I will ever get close to 6,000 posts on this forum in the future.

This is along the lines in my opinion of giving police officers a system where they push a button and your car shuts off. No thank you. My life is controlled and manipulated enough already.

Ever hear of Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (abbreviated DRCC)? This technology maintains a pre-set distance between the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) equipped car and the car driving ahead of that car. If the system detects that the vehicle ahead is getting a little too close, the speed is automatically lowered and the vehicle’s brakes are applied. If the distance between the cars is increased (or if the road ahead is clear) the vehicle will return to its pre-set speed. I never want a car with this technology in it. I don't need a computer taking over my driving. I was reading about one situation of someone who was driving 65 miles per hour in a vehicle with this technology in the car. They said the car suddenly braked for no reason at all dropping the speed to about 5 miles per hour while they were on the highway. That is real safe on a high speed road. If you are foolish to follow close on the highway you will have to deal with the consequences of that. I don't want a computer taking over the controls of my car because some people do not know how to drive.

One law for the lords and another law for the peasants. Congress and their cronies get lavish and delicious health benefits while we need to wait in a long line and get our spoiled milk. I want a list of who voted for this in Congress so they can be exposed for who they really are.

I have lived in New York and Utah. In both states I have watched food prices increase by at least 15 percent per year recently on most items. I have no clue on if government will ever impose price controls on food. It would not surprise me if the Federal Government does do it sometime in the future. The trend is toward more control of everything. I think there are too many regulations and laws presently. There needs to be a move to bring more liberty to the people and power away from the Federal Government. The States generally listen to the voices their people better than the Federal Government does.

That is not correct data. The cost of food is going up at a much higher rate than that along with other items. Ask anyone who pays attention to the cost of food in the United States and they will confirm. At least 15 percent higher prices every year on most food items.

What are Congress is doing is immoral (encouraged by our current President). We have 17 trillion in debt and counting. Our spending rate is unsustainable. If you would study the history of countries that have done this you would know what happens when out of control spending occurs. Get past the politics and into reality. 17 trillion dollars in one hundred dollar bills is very close to 16,769 miles high.

As you know JodyTJ America's fiscal policies are horrific. We have secret combinations trying to destroy the American dollar. I heard we are printing 85 billion dollars per month presently. I did these calculations to see how much 1 billion actually is. A stack of $100,000 in 100 dollar bills is 6.25 inches. A stack of 1 million dollars in one hundred dollar bills is 62.5 inches high. A stack of one billion dollars is 5208.33 feet high. That is almost 1 mile high.

I was just reading this thread again. I'm glad we are not seeing hyper inflation presently. We are seeing bad inflation though. I think at least 10 to 15 percent per year. My paycheck doesn't ever seem like enough to cover everything.

I watched it last night. I just went to watch the video again and found it has been pulled off YouTube.

A knowledge of the LORD and His ways often come this way: 2 Nephi Chapter 28 verse 30: For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more . . .

My Representative Rob Bishop voted against the National Security Administration spying. Thumbs up for Rob Bishop! Jim Matheson voted for the power to spy. I am very disappointed that Michelle Bachmann voted for this as well. I think she said they are not saving our phone calls and e-mails. She is mistaken.

The For the Strength of Youth pamphlet is pretty clear: Never do anything that could lead to sexual transgression. Treat others with respect, not as objects used to satisfy lustful and selfish desires. Before marriage, do not participate in passionate kissing, lie on top of another person, or touch the private, sacred parts of another person’s body, with or without clothing. Do not do anything else that arouses sexual feelings. Do not arouse those emotions in your own body. Pay attention to the promptings of the Spirit so that you can be clean and virtuous. The Spirit of the Lord will withdraw from one who is in sexual transgression. Avoid situations that invite increased temptation, such as late-night or overnight activities away from home or activities where there is a lack of adult supervision. Do not participate in discussions or any media that arouse sexual feelings. Do not participate in any type of pornography. The Spirit can help you know when you are at risk and give you the strength to remove yourself from the situation. Have faith in and be obedient to the righteous counsel of your parents and leaders. https://www.lds.org/youth/for-the-strength-of-youth/sexual-purity?lang=eng

I am looking for direction on a shop that rebuilds automatic transmissions around the Salt Lake City or Ogden area. Anyone know any honest people that warranty their work? I know it is likely going to cost us about $2,000 just for the transmission. It is a Dodge Grand Caravan we are looking to rebuild since the body is in decent shape. My wife and I have been thinking it would be better to rebuild the engine and transmission for about $4,000 over paying $11,000 for a replacement sports utility vehicle.

I am angry at any Representatives who support this. The ability to spy on anyone for any reason at all is far too much power for anyone to have. John Boehner has betrayed all conservatives and of course power hungry Obama is all for this. This is the framework being set up for a totalitarian government. I will put a list of all those who supported this later. Hold them accountable people. Remember this well at the next election when you are in the voting booth.

WASHINGTON — The House narrowly rejected a challenge to the National Security Agency’s secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans’ phone records Wednesday night after a fierce debate pitting privacy rights against the government’s efforts to thwart terrorism. The vote was 217-205 on an issue that created unusual political coalitions in Washington, with libertarian-leaning conservatives and liberal Democrats pressing for the change against the Obama administration, the Republican establishment and Congress’ national security experts. The showdown vote marked the first chance for lawmakers to take a stand on the secret surveillance program since former National Security Agency systems analyst Edward Snowden leaked classified documents last month that spelled out the monumental scope of the government’s activities. Backing the National Security Agency program were 134 Republicans and 83 Democrats, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who typically does not vote, and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Rejecting the administration’s last-minute pleas to spare the surveillance operation were 94 Republicans and 111 Democrats.

I would not want an car like that Windseeker. There is not enough side protection.

Electric cars are every day vehicles for daily duties. Most people do not travel over 80 miles per day. Gasoline cars are for the long trips. The Tesla electric cars are amazing. They have a range of about 150 miles on a full charge. But they are priced at about $57,000.

Following electric cars has become a side hobby of mine. I just discovered an American made low speed electric car priced at about $19,995. The top speed of the car is 65 miles per hour and the range on a full charge is about 90 to 100 miles. It is the Wheego Whip electric car. It seats two and weighs a mere 2,828 pounds. It looks much better than the Smart Cars in my opinion. When the batteries go the estimated replacement cost is about $2,700.

The newest twist on the legendary saying seems to go something like this: He robs asphalt from the city and fills in the poor holes that plague the streets. And while a “Pothole Robin Hood” he may very well be to his supporters, Ron Chane won’t be getting spiritual advice from Friar Tuck anytime soon…and Jackson, Mississippi, most definitely isn’t Sherwood Forest. Because Chane—who’s made a name for himself lately by taking what he says is asphalt from the city of Jackson so he and his girlfriend can fill its potholes—is under police investigation for his actions.

Remember the Third Amendment? You know, the part of the U.S. Constitution that goes like this: “No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” Well, a Henderson, Nevada, family in a recent lawsuit claims that their Third Amendment rights were violated on July 10, 2011, when police officers commandeered their homes and arrested two family members for “obstruction.” We will be discussing this story and all the day’s news on our live BlazeCast beginning at 2:00pm ET: “Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors,” Reason explains. The Las Vegas Review Journal provides details on the domestic violence situation police officers were dealing with on that blistering summer day: Read more here: Third Amendment Violated? Nev.
