 Which is why it needs to be one of a slew of measures, we aren't just 
talking about increasing gas prices, although in this country farmers get 
diseil at a reduced price, it's about efficiency. Importing kiwi fruit by 
plane is a hell of a lot different from getting your potatoes from a 
farmer across the state when he uses a train to transport them.
  Which reminds me have you got your numbers picked out for the lottery, 
I asked earlier but didn't know if you saw the message and wanted your 
opinion on the latest "poor tax."
