Excuse me while I run outside to wave my little worker's hat and sing another rousing chorus of the Internationale. Yes, and that's why they are in a severe depression in Europe with the gasoline at seven per gal. And yes, let's nationalize those greedy bastards like the Mexicans did. The resulting red-hot economy in Mexico is already having an effect here in the U.S. with millions of Americans pouring across the border into that Mexican land of prosperity. -Yippee Coyote _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
