*I've seen the "trouble" in the news with regard to high fuel taxes..
When we in America had a similar problem with the tea-tax we
called out the FCF lookalikes for a wild time and dumped it in Boston
Harbor! *Perhaps striking a match would test the content of the harbor
today, and we might use polluted water as a substitute fuel<G>
No matter how high the price at the pump goes.. we could off-set it
by re-directing "soft money" from special interest to elect the politicians
into price reductions for the people!
Consider the amount (*Millions!) spent only to choose between
Bush and Gore. *I know Jflory makes fer a more *dashing figure!
-the rest o'the job must be Fiddle sticks and foo-fah-raw!
Politicians could be replaced
by US Military recruits out of boot camp and assigned a pay grade
one slot higher than paint chippers in deference to the "Honor" of
representing our interest in the government.<G>
