For those of you who are fortunate enough to live somewhere where you don't need a car to get around, or you have a job that you don't need to drive to, you are lucky. For the rest of us who do rely on a car, the new program passed by the Senate called the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), which is even more aptly referred to as "Cash for Clunkers", is maybe something you have been paying attention to.

People who fall under earth signs tend to be grounded, hard workers who never stop to question things; rather, they take things for what they are. They are resistant to change with the motto "why change what works." People in this element do not dig...
