Forget about getting stuck in traffic — a “flying car” that can pull
double duty on highways and airstrips is ready for take-off.
The hybrid flying machine called Transition is scheduled to be
delivered to consumers starting in late 2012. It was built by
Terrafugia, a Massachusetts company founded by MIT-educated pilots and
engineers.
The uncanny contraption — a two-seat prop plane that transforms into a
wheeled vehicle capable of driving at highway speeds — cleared a
regulatory hurdle recently when the U.S. Department of Transportation
gave it a special three-year exemption from tire-selection and
windshield requirements.
Instead of automotive glass, the windshield will be made from tougher
polycarbonate materials to keep the plane light and prevent breakage
in the event it hits a flock of birds midair. The Transition will also
be equipped with smaller and lighter motorcycle tires.
“This is just fun. It is a flying car, right?” Terrafugia CEO Carl
Dietrich told The Daily, explaining that Transition was designed to
give pilots more flexibility to use the nation’s 5,000 small public
airports.

~Following the meeting, the President again reiterated the federal
government's
commitment to ensuring that BP fulfills every claim obligation. "We are
going to insist that money flows quickly-in a timely basis-so that you don't
have a shrimp processor or a fisherman who's going out of business before BP
finally makes up its mind as to whether or not it's going to pay out," the
President said. "That's going to be one of our top priorities, because we
know that no matter how successful we are over the next few weeks in some of
the containment efforts, the damages are going to be there." A transcript is
available here.~
*The British Patsy*, ~Drill Baby Drill COWARDS~ ?
*Hallelujah*
*Amen*

Completely flawed study and at total logical fallacy.
Reason:
People without Aspergers are able to cognate abstract concepts where
as Aspergers victims are not capable of doing that. "Social
cognition" includes the cognition of a 'higher power' in people
without Aspergers.
"Any form of argument in which the conclusion occurs as one of the
premisses, or a chain of arguments in which the final conclusion is a
premiss of one of the earlier arguments in the chain."

With the ideas of what we are;
1) as individuals in society
2. As individuals in This Realm
3. As interrogations of what we see & speak ofs.
Who are we if the "Alien's" Empire cannot control one out of pocket rock
star.
Who are the ideas of what we are as a speed VERSUS INTEREST, in that all the
ideas of what we are; is of little CONCERN to those who do not Respect
Music.
Rap is sHiT.
