		<description>Update: Just realized, you can't turn the ignition off unless it's in Park. Putting it into Neutral could work if going uphill or on flat land, might get weird on a steep downgrade. Hmmm.</description>

		<description>A friend on Facebook just said, why not just turn the ignition key off. Might work, but it would make steering sluggish and at 90 mph, that could get tricky</description>

		<description>I wouldn't be too sure about that Bob.  I've seen talk of this being a problem on car forums since 2006 or so, for cars as old as 2003s.  Just because your car isn't part of the recall, doesn't mean it doesn't have an issue.  It means the parts they think are to fault are not part of your car.  Given that they've changed their mind at least 3 times now on what the cause was (floor mats, power harneses, and now gas pedals), I wouldn't rule out any Prius as having a problem.

If I owned one, I'd be putting a kill switch in pronto (that disconnects the battery and the alternator at a button push).  They're not expensive to put in, and are common for people that tow their cars (like behind a mobile home).  Mosts RV shops can do it, or tell you of a local place that can do it.  Worth the peace of mind, IMHO.</description>

		<description>The technology to run an automobile on CO/H2 has been around since before WWII.  I've seen plans from the 1930s for converting a gasoline-powered vehicle to charcoal-- from the UK of course, not here.</description>

		<description>To the extent that the hubbub over Iran is rational, it is over Iran building uranium enrichment plants.

Uranium enrichment concentrates the 0.7% of U235 that is present naturally (the rest is U238) to the 3 to 5% that is needed for use in light water reactors. This can also be done much farther to concentrae the U235 to the 90+% that is useful for making bombs.

There are reactor designs such as CANDU that can run on non-enriched uranium, but Iran is building a light water reactor to provide electricity.</description>

		<description>Going to have to go all marxist on you, Bob.  Were it not for the last several decades' enormous transfer of wealth from the working and middle class to the upper class, we wouldn't be in this fix.

However, I'm not a marxist, but in reality a suckist.  I've worked on union matters in California where the upper brass negotiated away the pay and benefits of younger union members in exchange for a 3% benefit for senior union members.  In other words, in exchange for a pension formula of (A) number of years of service; times (B) average of top 3 years of pay; times (C) 3% instead of 2%, they sacrificed and screwed over their fellows with less power and knowledge.  Gladly and willingly.

And now everyone is going to suffer.</description>

		<description>This is a primary reason the Left is so dead and the Right is mobilized. Liberals in particular are joined at the hip with Obama and still can't bring themselves to understand that he has no interests in them or their issues.</description>
