I mean, to a limit you can brew your own beer, and beer with no regulation or restrictions (except for quantity). So why can't a person make their own small refinery? i have friends who work at a refinery and they say that the process isn't really that difficult and in my area we have lots of oil wells. so......... another thing. for recreational boating, why can't we be exempt from paying highway taxes on gas? hmmmm? I'll leave the production of gasoline to the crackers* but when I was a kid in Connecticut, you could get a refund on road taxes for gas used in your boat. My dad gave specially printed receipt books to his customers...they filled them out and sent them in for the refund. I sorta recall the gas station operator had to sign and stamp the receipts, but maybe not. This was when gasoline was 20 cents a gallon at the local gas station, and a nickel more at the marina. * crackers...those who know how to "crack" petroleum. Another heartwarming "my Dad" post from the black sheep in the Krause family. Too bad his dearly departed daddy wasn't around to advise him when he decided to hang a perfectly good storm door in a manner that trashed the entire deck project. He needs to go back to playing with Lincoln logs. Why does the door open out? |
