It is clear that the minor loss of tax revenues is offset by a factor of dozens in that it cuts into the vast fortunes and control of the hatemongers not only in the middle east, but also those who are becoming just as beligerent in this hemisphere.

It is an insult to the mostly lower income people who have found this small way of taking themselves off the customer list of such people as are controlling the world oil reserves for political and even religious advantage.
