Brother Richard,

I've always wondered what it would be like to leave the rat race behind and live a simple life like the Amish. I know they work hard to survive, but I really don't think that hard work ever hurt anyone. If I remember correctly, they still do nearly everything the old-fashioned way, including home and barn raisings with neighbors and family. I guess the only expenses they would have is taxes and buying necessities they can't make or grow. It doesn't really sound all that bad.

Love In Christ,
Tom

3 John 1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Just read this thread for the first time tonight.  Considering that the Amish don't pay taxes, etc. isn't this what the bible calls living in the world but not of the world?

Don't kid yourself. Good drinking water is going to become very expensive.  Our water infrastructure is very old and crumbling.  They need tax money to rebuild but nothing is being said about it, probably because they don't want us to panic.

Go buy yourself a diesel.  They can run on crisco oil!  Don't know if it would be any cheaper than gasoline, though.

They can run on crisco oil!  

Whoa - have you priced Crisco Oil lately!!!???  Talk about your $6 per gal fuel!!??      

We need to go back to steam.  I got plenty of natural 'hot air' power!  Ever heard of perpetual motion?    I keep goin' and goin' and goin' and goin'.....

Since last week we have been paying more for a litre of gas then for a standard loaf of white bread. You guys have nothing to complain about. I earn R 3500.00 a month and pay more then R5 for a litre (not a gallon) of the valuable fliud. I spend at least 1/4 of my salary on gas.

ForHisGlory -
You are absolutely right - we have nothing to complain about. Complaining seems to be a national passtime. Americans are spoiled that way.  Why, just the other night my steak was too done, and...
Oh - never mind.  

Maybe that's another reason we have such high immigration - "cheap" fuel.  

Come on over, ForHisGlory,  We'll sell you a few liters...

Judgenot, I don't think it's an American thing. It is a global phenomanon. You see it every where these days. No function or party is a success if it does not have a good pessimist.

ForHisGlory,

Forgive me, but what is "R" 3500.00 and "R5"?  How does that equate with the American sum of $3,500.00.  Is it the same?
Also, I would like to ask how many gallons or litres you get per mile?  What kind of automobile?

I've heard that the European cars are much more gas efficient than those here in America.  I understand you're from South Africa, but was thinking the S.A. autos would be as gas efficient as the European ones.  Am I correct?  The cars here can get anywhere from 8 miles per gallon to 40 miles per gallon, I think.  I think some of the SUV's only get about 8 miles per gallon, but don't quote me on that because I'm not sure.  Maybe someone else here on the forum would be better that this than I am.

Grace and peace,
cris

1 Gallon= 2.2lt
Volkswagen Golf
9km to a litre
I don't know the km\ mile ratio.
R1.00 = about $6.00
Do the math. I'm not to good with sums these days, Was is my younger years.
