Crap! Sorry, My attempt to quote didn't work so well. Anyway, BB, I was perhaps a little heavy handed and generalizing in my earlier post. I see that you have Bob Barr 's website in your sig line, so we can't be too far apart idealistically.
Actually, I think the "Tax Holiday" is one of the better ideas to come along in quite some time, because of that, it has no chance of getting anywhere! Even if it *did*, by some miracle succeed ... it wouldn't be permanent!

I'll go do that right now and send a link to friends ... however, I'm not optimistic. If congress can ignore phone calls, emails and faxes at the reported rate of up to 1000-1 against the original bail out bill, it's pretty clear that they don't care what we think, they don't respect us and they aren't afraid of us. And that was right before an election! They feel pretty secure now knowing they have another 2 years for us to forget.

I call dibs on the torch oil consession!
