I don't really want to rain on anyone's parade, but I happen to get along
well with the Saudi's. I've been dealing with them for 7 years and have
found them to be honorable and fair. They'll dicker your pants off, but
when they finally make a deal, they live with it. And, everything that I
send them "must" have a "MADE IN USA" label on it.
These folks would like to live in the United States. It is my
understanding that anything made in the US is looked upon as being the highest
quality available. So, don't bad mouth them just because they are from
the middle east, and of different religious backgrounds. We have our
share of bad people that live in the USA too. It took many many years,
and a lot of heart ache before the races of America could ride in the same
bus. These people suffer from the same kind of prejudices we had in our
own country just a few short years ago. Things must change, and they
will, but not overnight.
Anyway, just some of my thoughts.

GASOLINE SOLUTION!
We CAN buy gasoline that's not
from Middle East. Why didn't George W. think of this? Gas
rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It
might even be good for us! The Saudis are boycotting American
goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to
boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid
putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas
companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more
frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am
sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my
friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil
companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import
Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01):
Import Oil from
Middle East:
Shell...............205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil........130,082,000
barrels Marathon/Speedway...117,740,000 barrels
Amoco................62,231,000 barrels If you do the math at $30/barrel,
these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! Here are some large
companies that do not import from the Middle
East:
Citgo...................0 barrels Sunoco...............0
barrels Conoco............. .0 barrels Sinclair.............. 0
barrels BP/Phillips......... 0 barrels Hess..................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each
is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are
importing. They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in
your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for
terrorism.............
But to have an impact, we need to reach
literally millions of gas buyers. It is really simple to do!!
Now, don't wimp out at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple
it is to reach millions of people!! I'm sending this note to about
thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =
300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)
... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of
people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those
three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30
million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further,
you guessed it.....
THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all
you have to do is send this to 10 people. How much would all that
take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within
one day all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the
next eight days! ==========================
