Good points. But you'll be happy to know that I bought 100 shares of enron
yesterday. Now I own your ass! <From: Jeff.Dasovich@enron.com <To: "Scott Laughlin" <scottwl@hotmail.com< <CC: cameron@perfect.com, eldon@interx.net, jdasovic@enron.com, <JJfreedom@earthlink.net, Nancy.Sellers@RobertMondavi.com, <psellers@Haas.Berkeley.EDU <Subject: Re: letter <Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2001 15:50:01 -0500 < < <This thing's been floating around the web for a while. Show's what's wrong <with good ol' California. To wit: < < We want federal water subsidies so we can kill the fish and grow rice < and grapefruit in the desert ("and we'll keep it all for us?"). < Let's drive our freakin' gas-guzzlin' SUVs all over, but hey, who needs < to invest in roads; and somebody else come quick and clean up our air < from all those emissions. < And we're 49th in the nation for spending on education. Great stuff. < Now, we've decided we want other state's with less sophisticated people < (in places like Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico) to < build power plants (and pollution) in their states to feed electricity, < and dam their rivers and kill their salmon so that we can heat our hot < tubs and STILL pay 3 cents a kilowatt hour. < And oh, by the way, it's federal taxes and the military industrial < complex which has funded CA's weapons industry and communications < industry. As no big fan of the military industrial comples, I'm just < crying crocodile tears. < <Generally the kind of self-righteous doo-doo that turns people off to what <is an otherwise great place to be. < <Yours in tender diatribes, <Jeff < <PS Scott, I think that you're absolutely right: drilling in the Arctic <Refuge in good for America.... < < < < "Scott < Laughlin" To: cameron@perfect.com, <eldon@interx.net, < <scottwl@hotm JJfreedom@earthlink.net, <jdasovic@enron.com, < ail.com< Nancy.Sellers@RobertMondavi.com, < psellers@Haas.Berkeley.EDU < 04/06/2001 cc: < 03:12 PM Subject: letter < < < < < <Hope this doesn't piss Jeff off too much... < < <America has engaged in some finger wagging lately because California <doesn't have enough electricity to meet its needs. The rest of the <country (including George W. Bush's energy secretary Spencer Abraham, <who wants Californians to suffer through blackouts as justification for <drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) seems to <be just fine with letting Californians dangle in the breeze without <enough power to meet their needs. They laugh at Californians' <frivolity. < <Well, everybody. Here's how it really is: California ranks 48th in the <nation in power consumed per person. California grows more than half the <nation's fruit, nuts and vegetables. We're keeping them. We need something <to eat when the power goes out. We grow 99 percent or more of the nation's <almonds, artichokes, dates, figs, kiwi fruit, olives, persimmons, <pistachios, prunes, raisins and walnuts. Hope you won't miss them. < <California is the nation's number one dairy state. We're keeping our <dairy products. We'll need plenty of fresh ones since our refrigerators <can't be relied upon. Got milk? < <We Californians are gonna keep all our high-tech software in state. <Silicon Valley is ours, after all. Without enough electricity, which <you're apparently keeping for yourselves, we just plain don't have <enough software to spare. < <We're keeping all our airplanes. California builds a good percentage of <the commercial airliners available to fly you people to where you want <to go. When yours wear out, you'd better hope Boeing's Washington plant <can keep you supplied. There isn't enough electricity here to allow us <to export any more planes than we need ourselves. < <And while we're at it, we're keeping all our high-tech aerospace stuff, <too, like the sophisticated weapons systems that let you sleep at <night, not worried you might wake up under the rule of some foreign <kook. [As opposed to some domestic kook] < <Oh, yeah, and if you want to make a long-distance call, remember where <the satellite components and tracking systems come from. Maybe you <could get back in the habit of writing letters. < <Want to see a blockbuster movie this weekend? Come to California. We <make them here. Since we'll now have to make them with our own <electricity, we're keeping them. Even if we shot them somewhere else, <the labs, printing facilities, editing facilities, and sound facilities <are all here. < <Want some nice domestic wine? We produce over 17 million gallons per <year. We'll need all of it to drown our sorrows when we think about the <fact that no matter how many California products we export to make the <rest of America's lives better, America can't see its way clear to help <us out with a little electricity. You can no longer have any of our <wine. < <You all complain that we don't build enough power plants. Well, you <don't grow enough food, write enough software, make enough movies, <build enough airplanes and defense systems or make enough wine. < <This is your last warning, America. Lighten (us) up before it's too late. < <Love, < <The Californians < <_________________________________________________________________ <Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com < < < < < _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
