Are we [US-ians] luckier?  Is there is a price to pay for our cheap gas?.  Yes, there is

something to whine about!).

Gary, haven't you noticed Governor Engler's re-election signs all over the
state?  They say things like "Detour" and "Road Under Construction".  I
figure by the time the election is over, every mile of highway will have
been repaved.

(...) Richard is right. We do whine a lot...... BUT Americans do make sure their elected representatives HEAR them (whining). When USA taxes are raised, the usual result is someone in government gets booted out of office. Lower taxes are the norm. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
