Thank you.

Yeah and you don't have to have a giant chunk of meat with every meal, either!

Serious?

At least regan had the good sense not to befriend the likes of Hammas. Carter is a serious liability these days and needs to go back to the peanut farm, and stay there.

Yea, about that….. my kids are home from school for the summer, their milk consumption went from 15 gallons a week to 20 because we now have to feed them lunch. Last night my wife made a 13 X 9 pan of “Tater Tot Casserole” with 5 Lbs of beef, I didn’t get any because I worked late and the kids ate it all. My wife’s daily driver is our 15 passenger van with the 454 in it takes a gallon just to run into town and back. Why such a big van, because our family outgrew the suburban when we had our 7th kid, #8, the "Ocho" is due in December (and no we weren’t expecting or planning the last 3, but we’ll love them anyways). My business consumes 3000+ gallons of fuel a year, and business has been down since first quarter last year, people don’t want to spend money on upgrading technology when they can’t make payroll. My wife’s business is down, people don’t want to spend money on their wedding gown because they can shop for best pricing on the internet. I’ve been audited 3 of the last 10 years by the IRS and expect to hear from them again very soon. I could easily complain about everything in my life, but I don’t, it is all about attitude, we can complain and whine or we can get over it, modify our behavior or come up with a different plan.

WOW! Now that’s the kind of outside the box thinking that makes America great!!!
Not too long ago there was a guy who proved that the earth was round and that the sun didn’t revolve around the earth and….. man I could go on and on. Laws like that are the best guess made with the information at hand, they are meant to be broken. Overunity happens, even when there are laws against it.

I did a little research:

The guy's name was Troy Reed. He was a con artist who scammed a bunch of gullible investors including actor Dennis Weaver. He got a lot of media attention back in the '90's before his wife divorced him and he was exposed. His fraud invention was essentially a flywheel with a solenoid. The car he claimed he powered with it actually had a battery pack in the rear.

I don't think Ghandi meant for us to be suckers.

Peace,

Brad

A “little” research is right, some of your facts on Troy Reed are correct, he was married, they did divorce and the actor Dennis Weaver was involved. But that’s about it.

http://www.rexresearch.com/reed/reed.htm
It seems that his wife, the VP of the company and Reed divorced, twisting the company into a financial meltdown. Her son mentions that she currently resides in Costa Rica. Let’s see, the wife hates him, tells everyone that it’s all a lie, divorces him for half of the company and then moves to Costa Rica, it all makes sense to me. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

Dennis Weaver is his cousin and was a co-inventor, not a duped investor; he built, watched and understood the vehicle and the generator he also was outspoken on getting off of oil and alternative energy.

The vehicle needed “His latest motor takes two car batteries to start (they are re-charged by the generator)”, kind of like the Toyota Prius, more of a magnetic/electric hybrid.

The quote doesn’t say anything about that, you must have misread it, read it again slower, say it twice then think about it. He doesn’t want us to just sit and whine, doubt and expect everyone else to do something. My dad used to make a comment in the same spirit of the Ghandi quote, it was more like “Quit your &#*@%ing And do something”. I like the Ghandi quote better.

Here are some more for you to check out, let me know what you think.

Damn right they are coming here...we give them everything in the world to be here and AMERICAN taxpayers pick up the tab!

While Americans are working their butts off to just get by, the "walk ins" are getting seed money to start business, food stamps, housing, college benefits, social security benefits, childcare and job training for near to nothing!

The Land of the Free is fast becoming the land of the foreign takeovers. IMHO

That's the issue, those giving the estimates to the fuel companies drive up the price, because the companies figure they can do it, if this guy says they can.



We're reviving the horse and buggy next year hopefully! And my dad has just rented an appartment about a 2 minute subway ride from his work.

I

pay about 30% in taxes, child support for 3 kids is 40% (and it's not tax-deductible), alimony is another $500 a month. I'd do the math for you, but it would make me cry.

Hey...would you be my ex-husband...pweeezzzeee?​

Okay:

Why do you want to believe a fairy tale so badly?

You're citing the 1990's press releases that he conned investors with as "evidence".

Although his Youtube videos continue to fool at least you, he's been thoroughly debunked. It wasn't his wife who did it - she just took off with one of the other scammers.

Here's a deal for you: I'll give you $100,000 cash for any perpetual motion machine you can bring me. His, yours or anyones.
