Will the trend toward economy-size car models lead Americans back to buying smaller-sized cars?

You can tell a lot about a person by the car they drive. When you see someone drive by you in a Hummer, do you think, "They must spend a lot of money on gas" or do you think, "Wow, that's a nice car"

People will buy the car that they like the most, out of all the cars that they can afford. I don't buy a car because of its size; I buy a car because I can afford it, and because I like it.

If you want to drive around in a MINI Cooper, that is fine with me. But, if I had the choice, I would take a Lamborghini over a MINI any day of the week. If you can afford a Lamborghini, then you can afford $4650 a year on gas.

Is Bob Dylan a folk singer?

Bob Dylan has played many different styles of music. Early in his career he had, what some people would call the Folk time of his career. This is the time when his music sounded most like Folk music. But even then, there was something different about his music.

Bob Dylan doesn't play Folk, Rock, Country, Pop, Jazz, Gospel, or anything like that. He plays his own kind of music. This kind of music has helped shape all other genres of music.

Bob Dylan will play what he wants to play. He doesn't follow any specific rules. This is why any experienced Dylan fan can tell you the year a song was released, just by hearing Mr. Dylan's voice, even if they have never heard the song before.

Most people who know music will tell you, the two most influential artists/bands ever are The Beatles and Bob Dylan. If you think about it, Bob Dylan influenced The Beatles very much. Without Bob Dylan, The Beatles would have never been as popular as they were.

Bob Dylan doesn't play Folk music; he plays his own style of music. This is why he is, in my opinion, the best thing that happened to music since music itself was created.

Does poetry matter in the 21st century?

If you can fit the right words together in the right order, you can say more than any politician ever could. Poetry can say anything you want it to. It could be something that is only important to you. It could be something that you think the entire world needs to hear.

Anybody can write a poem, but not everybody can write a good poem. But, if you do it just right, it can have an affect on someone. If you can affect enough people, you can make a real difference.

Someday, we are all going to be gone, the world is going to go on without us. When you are gone, do you want people to remember you? Some of the most famous poems are from hundreds of years ago. Do you want people to remember you one hundred years from now? With a good poem, you could change something today, and you could change something hundreds of years from now.

Poetry can express something like nothing else can. Poetry matters in the 21st century, just as it did one thousand years ago, because long after we are gone, we can still make a difference with poetry.
