This comes eight years after the fact, but it is disappointing to read, over and over, that Triplett "legally" acquired the name of the Kentucky newspaper owned by me. He "legally" obtained a corporation name "New Wave Communications," but never legally acquired the newspaper trademark. There seems to have been a great deal of misunderstanding regarding this matter. A corporation and trademark are two completely different things... and I must say that is why Mr. Triplett lost this case.

Time is very short as you should know.

While many commuters grumble if their car gets less than 20 miles per gallon fuel efficiency, and some cars out there get 50 mpg, 5 miles per gallon is standard for a NASCAR car. Also, the devices that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated on normal cars to keep emissions to a safe level, like catalytic converters, are not built into race cars. NASCAR race cars are only regulated by NASCAR.
This all adds up to some serious fuel consumption. In a single typical NASCAR race weekend, with more than 40 cars at high speeds for 500 miles (804 kilometers) -- plus practice laps -- at 5 mpg of gas, you're looking at, conservatively, about 6,000 gallons (22,712 liters) of fuel [source: Finney]. Each gallon burned emits about 20 pounds (9 kilograms) of carbon dioxide, so that's about 120,000 pounds (54,431 kilograms) of CO2 for a race weekend [source: FuelEconomy]. Multiply that by roughly 35 races per year, and NASCAR's annual carbon footprint is in the area of 4 million pounds (1.8 million kilograms).
This is huge there is no doubt about it. But there are many things we do as humans that have an impact on the environment.
The question always comes down to - Is it worth it?
The second question is - Who decides?............
Lest we forget, AARP funnels its members into United Health Care Medicare Supplemental and Drug Insurance. I have written numerous letters to AARP, to no avail. I canceled my AARP/United Health Care Ins. precisely because of the profits and Executive compensation. I wish every AARP member would do the same. It is shameful that AARP connects itself to such a greedy organization!
Yes, say goodbye to these programs as insurance companies will just move to raising premiums to keep 15-20% ahead of costs and forget about trying to manage costs. If you want to control costs, need to hit the areas that actually increase them. Believe it or not, insurance companies don't increase those. Physicians, pharma, hospitals, clinics, new technolgy, etc. do. Also, Americans want every possibility of care, don't think for a minute that doesn't raise the cost of care. When your ready to make the hard choices about what care is to be provided, then and only then, will you see the cost of care actually decrease as then research in developing a cure that costs $1 billion but only saves 3 lives a year will stop.
