RE : high gas prices
I will try to be ON-topic in my answer to you Catherine:
Say you are outraged by the price increase of radwaste volume disposal (it
is happening here in Canada as we speak) and you want to pay less for the
volume of radioactive waste your company is generating...Would you simply
boycott your waste service provider to send a message or....you will go back
to your waste management practices and try to find ways to minimize the
radwaste volumes ? Option number two is always more productive don`t you
think ?
Read between the lines and if the message is not clear, go after my
signature...Let:s bring the discussion off the list if you want !

EXPLANATION: Gasoline prices are obviously not high enough since for more
then 5 years now, North Americans (Yes I am including Canadians) are
flashing their nice SUVs in any traffic jam and even cars are getting bigger
and bigger...(cross-over concepts...)A monopoly is a monopoly, reducing
average speed on the highway and cutting the energy loss from poor
aerodynamic and simple "gravity" (weight, inertia and friction) is the only
way to "hurt" and "send a message" to any oil company. Smaller and slower
cars will do it. Now, do what I say only, because I still drive fast...but
then again, I am not complaining about the fuel prices, I drive a small car
dreaming to have, one day, a Hummer like my neighbour...(just kidding !)
