Last time I was in France the
national langauge was not German, we accept that as a thank you. *pffffrt* but it is not english, either. And I'd bet they'd rather learn German than English ... In case you haven't noticed, America doesn't conquer people. We come in, save your ass, and go home. Another thing you may not have noticed: Many in the U.S. would balk at EVER raising arms to save the French...again. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Give everybody his fair share? You're an idiot.
well, what are the alternatives? fighting those wars until some wacko hits the red button and fires all those nukes (even firing one is enough)? what's next? get a broader view, please. The alternative is certainly not "giving everyone his fair share"...whatever THAT is. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Icebound" wrote in message ... ...as long as you realize that what taxes you are not collecting on gasoline, you are ultimately collecting somewhere else, so you end up paying for it anyway, one way or another. One estimate has 12.5 billion in annual subsidies to petroleum companies (and that's back in 1998). That is coming from somewhere. http://209.200.74.155/doc/Real%20Pri...20Gasoline.pdf The problem here is that we are continuing to pay those 'hidden' expenses and taxes while also paying the ever increasing costs of the gasolene. The prices are being driven by speculators, not by true demand, and the profits are exorbitant. |
