    “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

          Jap, I have over 35 miles one way to my job . And with these prices, and early 90s car . What can I say? Life sucks but my barbara sucks it harder. I work the first hour just to get the gas back... and work the second hour just to eat there .. and work the third hour to pay the taxes from it and then work the fourth hour to eat at home, 5th and 6th to pay the rent and 8th to... that's for me.

            I could walk back a forth to work, or ride a bike if I could find one. However I doubt the casino would even be open anymore. People aren't going to drive there and not many will have extra $ after filling their tanks anyway. Filling a 20 gallon gas tank would require $160+.

                          That's ok. When the fundies take over we can declare them an illegal regime and freeze their assets just like we did to the Iranians. we've still got billions of the Shah's money which has been frozen since 1979.
