Update 3: I am now able to boot using no special commands like noapic with the newest nVidia beta driver (169.07). The driver itself has problems as it keeps me from using the console as it is extremely fuzzy, and moves around too...it also seems to prevent me from being able to properly reboot or shutdown.

    The purpose of this paper is to explore several key subjects of political argument and explore the likely reaction to these subjects that the framers of the Constitution and founders of our country would have had. If the learned individuals who set up our government were around today, these early Americans would be grappling with the issues regarding life and abortion, as well as education arguments, the all-important “wall of separation” between church and state, and many other modern-day political topics. With a focus on several of the more influential founders and analysis of their own religious and political values, coupled with the study and analysis of historical documents, and the Bible on which many of the founders believed, the goal is to determine the original intent for America. Furthermore, the aim is to discover likely solutions to many modern political issues by gaining insight into the founders' thought processes and values, and applying them to modern issues to find a resolution.

    From both a scientific and economic standpoint, ethanol is a waste of resources. While many may claim that ethanol is the ultimate solution to the fuel oil crisis, they do not realize some of the many problems that the substance has. While ethanol can be useful in applications other than fuel, it is not a viable option for the United States, as it is not cost effective or environmentally friendly. Everyone from chemical engineers to common citizens recognize some of the problems. Citizens of various towns do not want these plants in their towns, as they use many millions of gallons of water that could possibly run out. While ethanol is purported to be the ultimate solution to saving the environment by government officials and oil corporations alike, it is actually a scam by government officials and oil companies to line their pockets, and cheat the taxpayers.

    From a scientific standpoint, it is not. The burning temperature of ethanol is far lower than gasoline. In fact, ethanol needs 99,119 British Thermal Units of heat to produce a gallon, which will yield 77,000 BTUs of energy when burned in an automobile. Furthermore, ethanol is produced by burning fossil fuels as ethanol cannot be burned to produce ethanol (Dvorak). This means that one gallon of gasoline will propel a vehicle longer than one gallon of ethanol, due to ethanol having far less energy stored within it per gallon. Furthermore, a scientific concern for the environment is that for every pound of ethanol produced, an excess pound of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere (Reisch 32).
