for those minions who fret about oil prices...

in 1990 oil expenditures accounted for 7% of our Gross Domesticated Product
by 1997 oil spending accounted for 3% of our GDP
by 2000 oil accounts for 1% of GDP

that is a remarkable fact reported by Business Week in a July issue
it accentuates the fact that the US economy is fast growing, fast advancing as a technology based information economy with vast services

in a decade, I predict the US economic experts wont give either a rat's rectum or its entrails what the price of oil is
of course, individual workers and homo-owners will care at the gas pump
but the fact remains: US is moving away from smoke stacks, tail pipes, and trucking

I still maintain that Cisco belongs in the Dow Transport index
