What happend to the hydrogen car?

Over a year ago, I watched a news report on a fox station about a man in his garage that had built a hydrogen torch using water and electrolysis, and later converted his car to run on the same method. So the car companies with millions of RandD money can't do this but a man with maybe a few thousand dollars in his garage can? Give me a break! It's here and it's very possible, just the oil companies won't let it get to the market. I emailed fox to ask whatever became of this, and got no response. I believe at the time he was in the process of forming Hydrogen Technologies Inc. It seems the oil companies are keeping occupied with the worry about gas prices so we forget about the already possibilities of other alternatives.

I see by the commercials it's time for my tax money to pay cops overtime to sit around and find those dangerous seatbelt "violators"! I hope we aren’t dumb enough to believe the misleading stats the government feeds us to make us believe the seatbelt law is for any other reason than to raise money. I noticed from the crying about the less red light runners that nothing the government does is for my safety but rather a calculated gamble that there will be violations to any law, which produces tickets which produces fines and thus income. Too bad they don't put as much money and effort into catching real criminals, oh yeah I forgot when you take a burglar to jail, you don't get any fines from him, and therefore they'd rather spend efforts on ticket producing "crime". You'd actually have to dig in and do the research and read the numbers correctly, not the way the government "counts", to realize the seatbelt law is nothing but another baby step to control and parent the public and produces little if any additional safety. I can smoke myself into a comma knowing that smoking IS a cause of lung cancer, but I can't ride in MY car without a seatbelt which is only good IF I'm in an accident and then it's does very little good, as we all know, if it's your time, you will go seatbelt or not. Even Luke 12 tells us, "25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" Certainly the Bible is not speaking about seatbelts; however it's very clearly stating that we cannot add a single hour to our life!
"We do not accept cash"?

Ever walked up to pay your water bill or some other bill to find that the entity has a sign stating that they do not accept cash? Yet when I look on the front of ANY dollar bill, I find the following statement: "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" so I wonder if cash can legally be turned down when attempting to pay an obligation?
Arlington's city council is now trying to raise taxes again! First to build a football field on stolen land, now this time it's for more cops to make you safer, right? WRONG. Any first year finance student can tell you that you never fund a fixed cost on variable income! That 1/8 penny may be plentiful this year and hire the necessary personal, however what about next year, and the year after that, what will you do if people aren't spending as much? Use that last 1/8 we would have? More than likely you'd have to let some go! So I don’t' see how anyone with any financial sense about them could vote for this! I can understand how "mayor" cluck and his band of land thieves came up with it as they don't know the first thing about running a city except how to tell people what they want to hear be it true or untrue! Would you base your how much you can pay for your house on your investment income? Of course not! Therefore any logical person can't vote for this proposal! GoHomeJones Arlington doesn't want you, and take "mayor Mc" Cluck with you!
