Making a profit is one thing, but gouging us with $4+/gal gas prices and announcing RECORD PROFITS is obscene. Robin Hood, no, but sick of this kind of gouging, yes. However, that's what Capitalism is all about--profits--and I'm ok with that, but I want choice. Right now, we really have no choice other than to not drive (not realistic) or take public transportation (which isn't a huge savings either). _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
