Neill,
My first response to your post was to tell you
where to go, and how to get there, which I'll still be happy to do privately if
you wish, but, wake up! Just because I won't foul mouth the Saudis doesn't
make me kin to Ben L. You see, I also do business with the French, New Zealand,
Australia, and California (forgive me Spook), all of them foreigners, and I like
them all. By the way, I'm from Utah!! You probably think we Mormons have 5
wives and horns.

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! ==========================
