proberts@lynx.informix.com sez: : 'Course, the gallons there are bigger than the gallons here, although : not that much bigger. Now why is it that putting 25c/gallon on gasoline : tax in the US would be political suicide, where as no-one seems to mind : very much that gas taxes in the UK are $3/gallon or more? Is it simply : that Americans love their cars that much more, or is it just that : familiarity breeds content? I've often wondered why the British drink their beer warmer than we do. And why do they have that strange accent? Why is that? Why can't they do things _our_ way? Sheesh! =-=-=-=-=-= Paul Havemann (paul@hsh.com) <disclaimer> I don't speak for my employer. </disclaimer>
