Hi Sonny, Of course I'm still holding my Intel, silly!! <GGG> I'll be a very old lady before I sell any of that one. ... Ok no comments from the peanut gallery. Glad to hear they are splitting!! LOL!! I knew the comment about Texas would get you going. Well none of THEM have done much about our dependence on foreign oil for as long as I can remember. It doesn't matter who is in Washington. It's not an issue until it hits our wallet. Then we all start screaming. At least around here if things get really bad I can always move to an acreage and get a few horses. At least I can grow their fuel. They still have the right of way on the roads here. <GGGG> I just don't know how pollution free they are. ;-) I've given up on worrying about being politically correct about the companies I invest in. Heck If I did that I wouldn't invest in anything. Most of the big companies these days are in every country taking advantage of their people (pay them .02 an hour) and their environment because they don't have the laws we do. About MO. We all do things that are bad for us. Drive to fast, eat at McDonalds, Have my Daily Coke a Cola. <GGG> The schools are really pushing the kids about the dangers of smoking. But we know kids/teenagers they will do exactly what we tell them not to. If my kids decide to smoke, I'm going to get the nastiest crappy cigarettes and make them smoke them tell they puke. I wish someone would have done that with me. And you are right on when you say that as long as the GOV wants money they are going to tax tobacco. But what they don't understand is that smokers will pay whatever the cost to get them. I'm not giving up my Blazer!! Sorry Charlie, but my 73 Chevelle got worse gas mileage than my Blazer does. <GGG> No the vehicles aren't dangerous, the drivers are. Especially us WOmen, as my husband would tell you!!! But then again he would tell you it's not just the SUV's we drive. You are right about ADIC, now I don't feel so bad. Your right about the truckers, they're not going to like paying even more for fuel. Hey, I have an idea.. Why not work on an alternative to diesel. Ohh but wouldn't fly now would it. Got to run!! Have a great evening!! Take Care Ann
