Well, at least some entities are making a few billion bucks! It's not like I can walk or ride a bike to work an hour away!

Wait, maybe I can prosper too with my latest (not-so-engenius idea) called ... Gasopoly!

[sarcasm on]
Sigh... nothing like making a buck off of others wether they can afford it or not. [/sarcasm off]

Corey, if I was close enough I would gladly, at the least, ride a moutain/10-speed bike to work. It would not be the first time! But, when a drive time is say close to one (1) hour... well you know that on a bike you can multiply that by about 3 or 4 and it's not practical.

Sooooo... I'll just have to "neutral down the hills and push-Yugo up the hills!"

Har. har. (cry)

Furthermore.... isn't bad enough that (probably) half these companies pad their books, or rearrange such? Greeeeeed! Golden Parachute awards... all around!

It's very frustrating to see all the corruption at the highest levels, all across the board. It's time for me to dig a hole and stick my head in it (to shield me from my own senses (http://www.sedl.org/scimath/pasopartners/senses/welcome.html)!). Anyone have a shovel?

:p
