It's going up another 1.41 cents per litre. New price = $1.41.6 per
litre.


Whats a litre?


About a US quart. Everyone else in the world uses metric, not imperial
or US measurement. US is a holdout in some businesses. Medicine,
science and much international trade is now in metric.


Take the UK, even they now do litres having abandoned the Imperial
measure some time ago.


Litre is the common spelling, however for US, liter is the official
spelling.


So for a rough estimate, 4 litres is a US gallon. But to be entirely
accurate, 3.7854118 litres in a US gallon.


1 Liter is 1.05668821 US quarts.


Clear as mud?

Not all are like that. But enough that your right, it gets a reputation.

Travel rules are simple:

- mind your owned damned business.
- be courteous and respectful.
- don't consume/buy/sell dope or illegal stuff.
- don't be a stupid dumbsh1t.

And you can go almost everywhere.

In all fairness, if we are such assholes, why does the whole world talk
to us, flock to us, and want to be us?


It isn't that the USA is the greatest thing possible, it is not.

It is that the rest of the world sucks more. USA is still, even with
its warts, the best damned place in the world to be born bar none. Ok,
being born privilege should the draw be there opens it up a bit, but to
be the average person, USA is #1. Canada is #2.

USA is for go-getters, people that are self motivated. Lazy whiners,
well, 12 or so other countries would be better. But can't say they get
my empathy for messing up their own lives.

Funny, i dare say for the first time in my life, the Canadian government
is more to the right than the USA. Less federal debt per capita, less
provincial debt where I live (but not true for all provinces).

The more right we go, the less damage a USA banking corruption thing
seems to affect us. Less liberalism is a good thing.
