Unfortunately, so many people are trying to game Digg right now, one pretty much has to indulge in that to get anything promoted at all. It’s like professional bodybuilding and steroids: You don’t really have a choice, if you want to compete. Aaaz tends to submit good content, and I often digg it, though I realize I probably only ever get the opportunity because it’s been gamed to the top of the pile. I have given up submitting articles myself, as I don’t have the time to game the system.

Stonebear, ever think that someone might create a new account so that the people they're complaining about don't know who they are?Didn't think that one through...

I've dugg aaaz submissions several times and I can honestly say it's not because he asked me to. I've never communicated with anyone about what stories to digg.He just submits a crapload of articles. You just happen to disagree with them.Maybe you should submit your own instead of reading the ones you don't like.

I don't drive and I dislike the oil companies, but damn, a '73 Eldorado. Mad style. If someone gave me one of those, I'd probably start driving again just to be seen in it.

Tax big oil and tell them not to pass it on to the consumer? How is that supposed to work? Where does the money come from to pay the tax?

Sorry, can't find the audio, but this is the story.Thu, Aug 24, 2006The California Report 2006-08-24Prop 87 Opponents Sue Supporters Over Web AddressesProposition 87 would tax oil producers and use the money to develop alternative energy programs. Oil companies -- led by Chevron, Shell and Exxon -- are funding opposition to Prop 87. But supporters of the measure, with financial help from deep pockets in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, have put up a roadblock in cyberspace. They are using domain names indicating opposition to Prop 87, but linking them to a site in support of it.Reporters:Scott Shafer<a class="user" href="http://www.californiareport.org/domains/californiareport/archive/R608240850/b">http://www.californiareport.org/domains/californiareport/archive/R608240850/b</a>

That just retarded.. why would he back that proposition. Alternative fuels can be made already, they don't need to be researched, there just needs to be more money put into getting biofuels companies off the ground.

If we do not make a huge effort to research alternative fuels, then we will never free ourselves from the chains of the Middle East. We need to create new industries here in California. Just imagine how the California economy would be if the dot.coms were all based in Alabama? This is an opportunity that we need to take, warts and all. We can fix problems as we go along, but if we shoot down everything just because it's not absolutely perfect then we'll stay in a quagmire forever.Vote YES on 87
