    Help me find the right college, I give up

    Unless you're going to play, I would recommend going to a university that has a good career center for your major. Football fandom isn't that important in the long run.

    the global warming swindle

    Do you have a graph depicting CO2 chemical effectiveness versus year? Especially in a place like Hawaii with a high humidity, the CO2 is damn near non-existant. This is also why plants can extract it fromt the air so easily, the water vapor is almost pushing it out. Global warmers would have...

    Gas prices

    Wow, theres definitely some falsities being thrown around about gas, octane. Reefraff, crash, and stdr are right though, thanks for reading guys. Lastly, octane is not an 8 carbon ring. In fact the particular octane in gasoline, i.e. octane number is iso-octane (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2. Furthermore...
