I always figured that when a person purchases an item, say a vehicle or 30 gallons of gas, they were free to use it as they wish within the limits of the law.

I hate it when my radio wastes gas.

  There have been a number of electric cars made that have beat Ferrari's down the 1/8th mile (I don't think they are able to win in the 1/4 mile yet).  But that technology is still a ways off before its good enough for widespread use.

I'll agree that I am not a great writer that's why I am a Computer Engineering major and not an English major.  Take in to account this is my first attempt at a satire.  This paper was inspired by Jonathan Swifts "A Modest Proposal" which is similar to mine in that he proposes an outrageous plan to take care of the poor.  My paper is a satire and not a reseach paper, my support is the examples I use for how people are wasting gas.

I did have the idea of not allowing young people to drive because they are inexperienced and drive recklessly, but this didn't make it into the paper.

thats why you should only use it during emergencies.

to prevent the gas from running out we should start burying bodies underground to speed up the creation of more gas.  like mass graves.

Technically... any additional electrical load creates additional mechanical load for the alternator, no?  Therefore, your radio does use gas.

How much?  Gas your radio wastes = the amount of times MrC agreed with the republicans.
