Last Book in the World

When we look back and see all of the mistakes we've made in the past I can't help but wonder if our timelines have a tendency to repeat.  Racial issues have gone back as far as the Romans and some issues before their time.  I feel the Bible a bit suggestive for the choice of book to hold our future by recording our past.  If living in a post-apocalyptic world means re-educating and rebuilding our society to the best of our abilities, I feel it needs to have a more solid foundation of origination than a book written over 2000 years ago that is based on a single religion.  This is not to say that anything in the Bible is fiction nor reality however it is a story told only from one side.  I question daily not only religion practiced in my household but the others around me.  I've always wondered if there is only to be one all-mighty god, why are there so many?  Every race seems to have a different look on religion and some even have different gods they follow for example the greeks had hundreds that they followed who held different powers that controlled their world.  Nowadays we see that as blasphemy, "There is only one god!" Who's to say in another thousand years that the religion of Christianity will be a mere myth.  I feel that if you believe strongly enough in a religion and follow it throughout your life, that is your decision and I support it, however I do not by any means believe that it should be the foundation of a new civilization.  I feel if we learned about our past before the apocalypse, we would have a better chance of learning where it all began.  If I was given the assignment to choose one book that was to be saved from the end of our world as we know it, I would choose our History book.  The World's History book is the only source of knowledge that contain's a foundation that ensures that we never make the same mistakes we've made before and thus learning through experience of how to build a better world.

U.S. EPA's Best and Worst Car MPG

The environmental protection agency (EPA) has dubbed the Worlds worst mileage offender on the latest Supercar the Bugatti Veyron.  This title for the quad-turbo V-16 sports car is anything but a surprise.  After the car left the inspection it was recorded at 8 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city and 15.5 MPG.  Although it's 4 turbos (1 per 4 cylinders) do a little justification on conserving gas, the highly tuned performance vehicle probably wasn't in the market for an energy efficient name.  The Veyron, who holds the current record for fastest car on the planet, not only sucks gas but is also considered one of the most expensive, road legal cars ever produced.  So, although the mpg for this car is shocking, I think one who can afford this car can also afford to keep it going.  On the other hand the Toyota's hybrid vehicle, Prius, is holding the record for best gas saver with 51 mpg in the city and 48 on the highway thereby making it the most fuel efficient car in the U.S.
