I don't have time for a large debate, I'm going away, but I just have to get this off my chest:
And who says we _have_ to transport our daily life goods around the globe? IMO, doing that is plain stupidity. Buy local food slow food. I try to live by that slogan, but it is near impossible. Ok, some goods can't be produced locally, coffee, cameras and a few other essential goods. But most goods can, we know it, but we simply ignore it. This is because many of us don't care about what we do to Mother Earth. (I'm not accusing any specific persons, please have that in mind). Sorry about this political outburst. Let me add a little friendly :-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke, or some other clever guy) > -----Original Message----- > From: mike.wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28. april 2006 16:13 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Local Gas Prices > > Shel wrote: > > That's a very short-sighted point of view.
