Another way to protest

[firefox]

The price of gasoline is near the cost of ethyl alcohol at the store. This would apply to Crawford and to people everywhere. It involves putting a pint of alcohol in your car in protest to the short-sighted ways of America Inc. and its representatives in government.

I remember a few years back the English arrested a woman for putting vegetable oil in her diesel car because it was much cheaper than the high-taxed diesel. The hybrid cars should have had a little fitting to let people plug it in to their outlet. This would have been an incentive because it would let them escape the gas taxes. Now do you think the geniuses in Japan were just blind to the idea that this would be an extremely valuable feature on their hybrids?

Anyway, with the oil being what made Iraq worthy of invasion was oil and the price of gas in conversation everywhere. What do you think of using alcohol as a tool of protest. How about an alcohol bottle stacking contest at Camp Crawford or elsewhere? How about some alcohol lanterns at Camp Casey.

What is the cheapest you can buy alcohol? Is it even illegal to add a pint to your car? When they had gasohol in the 70s it was often stated that it helped clean your engine.

That is all.

1. Stacking bottles of a volitile liquid near the Chicken Hawk Ranch probably

NOT a great idea. No point giving the SS reasons to charge anyone for anything

2. They would be empty.

People would put the contents in their car and the bottle would be a contribution.

This idea would provide us with images in the Rovian fashion. I like the idea of people pushing over a big plastic statue of Bush and seeing it break into pieces. Of course water bottles would do that to.

There is a serious practical side to this thought. Why would you not put a little alcohol in your car if it is cheaper than gas? And where the goddamned hell is the gasohol in the brilliant transportation bill?
