On The Road Again

I'm back home in Tejas.
Didn't really expect to be, but, you know, the best laid plans...
I'm trying to decide what to do.
I want to keep using this as a blog for thought, but I still want a place where I can tell everybody what's going on in my life with my exciting internship and all that rockage.
I'm thinking I'll use facebook notes for the details about my life and just keep using this as what it is. Or maybe I'll use this as both and just use the life stuff on facebook.
Anyways, time for a real blog.

So, today, as I was alone with my thoughts (and some awesome Romanian techno) for 6 hours, my brain did some working.

What if gasoline does not exist?

I realized that I have never run out of gas before. My car has never shut down.
I refill my gas tank, at decent expense, for something which I have never seen the consequences of.
What if the government made up gasoline and, simply out of the fear of running out of gasoline and being stranded, people keep filling up their cars with mystery liquid.

Of course, with this kind of theory, you can only go so long before some dummy runs out of gasoline, and realizes that his car doesn't shut down.

2 things happen at this point, either he thinks God is pulling a flour and oil miracle on him and he has a blessed holy gas tank, or he realizes the whole thing has been a scam and everyone finds out.

To continue the sham, the government (or car manufacturers, take your pick) puts a device in a car that is tied to the fuel meter. If your gas meter (with your gas can filled with mystery liquid) runs to empty, the car automatically shuts itself down and won't turn back on until you buy some more (highly government taxed) gasoline.

Just give the government a share of the profit for gas purchases and you, my friend, have a paranoid conspiracy theory.

Ironically, I just spent a few seconds searching for "gasoline" in Google images. Not a single picture of the actual liquid of gasoline popped up.
