So, today, the governor of Georgia urges the school boards to take two early snow days and close school so as to conserve fuel. Can he be serious? What kind of first-world nation draws the choice as one between education or fuel conservation? That's idiotic.
What isn't idiotic though is to question the need for NASCAR racing. How many thousands of gallons of fuel are wasted so that cars can be raced around in circles for the amusement of a percentage of the population.
When will some brave politician come out in favor of ending NASCAR to conserve fuel for really important uses?
