if that is their reasoning, I would assume that if they make cars with the driver on the right, they would put the gas filler on the left.

WHAT IS “Orange Roughy”?


A deep water fish when prepared is white and smooth. They are kind of orange-y in the ild.

We need an amendment to the constitution to say that you can only declare to run in the year of the election. Please give us a break.
When the president takes the day off to play golf or go to the ball game CNN fox MSNBC etc take the day off too. They can show reruns of 50's cowboy shows.

Cable tv. Every time I travel the cable tv in the hotel has the channels numbered differently from my home. We need Washington to fix it. ESPN should be on the same channel no matter which city I am in.

Airports we need a consistent cart rental. In Phoenix it is free. Just take one and use it. In Orlando it is $5 in the machine to get one. If you only have a 20 it will give you 15 dollar coins change. If you need another cart the machine does not take dollar coins.

Using a credit card in the store. All of the machines have the buttons arranged differently. Sometimes the no is on the left and sometimes on the right. Fix this.

The gas station. The cheap gas button is sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right. Fix this also.

Traffic signals. The filter light is sometimes before the main signal and sometimes after. Depends what city you are in.

Traffic signals. The red light is at the top and green at the bottom. In some places in texas the lights are turned on their side.

These are just a few things I think the government could fix to make people's lives easier. I am sure there are others. What is your pet leave?

Sorry but not one of the items you mentioned should come under the control of government, any part of government. What makes America free is the ability do change things to suit you. You have a complaint with stores then contact the store and alert them of your feelings. I am not sure what you mean by a traffic light filter but honestly, how hard is it to know what the traffic light is telling motorists. Red= STOP, Yellow=CAUTION, Green=GO THROUGH. Of course caution should always be exercised.

Each store I go into seems to have a somewhat different credit card machine. Yet I am an adult and can figure it out. If any of these things honestly has so much of a negative effect on your life then perhaps you need to settle down and just take a chill pill. I don't disagree the world seems to be spinning a bit faster these days but at 73 I am still able to figure things out. If not I ask someone to show me how to do it. Not a problem.

There are some good suggestions here but if the government took any action to fix them that would only increase the bureaucracy and its attendant inefficiencies. The suggestion I like best is for the CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the MSM for that matter to take the day off when the president plays a round of golf. If they reported on how his game was that might be worthwhile. The problem is that they don't.

Thanks for all of the replies.
Still trying to understand how orange roughy got into this.

My last suggestion is that for every new regulation the government imposes they need to rescind 10.
Maybe that would help

We need progressive legislation protecting the right of each individual vehicle to choose whichever side it self identifies as...gas cap on the driver or passenger side.

Vehicles have rights too! Protect their right to choose! Gas cap equality is a fundamental freedom.

Regarding the gas station: all cars should have the gas tank refill post on the same side - it would prevent the chaos of finding a space at the pump at busy stations.


On your dash panel there is a little picture of a gas pump, next to it is an arrow pointing either right or left.

If said arrow points to the right, your gas cap is on your right ... if it points left, your gas cap is your left.
