Guess how much fuel that sucker burns for every mile traversed, of
course while cruising around in circles. Then too, their are the
recreational aircract enthusiasts...no air polluton limits are in
effect for these guys, and their aircrats engines really guzzle fuel
for no purpose except recreation.

Yes, and think about how much energy goes into 'shopping'. Talk about
recreational. What if basic staples were delivered as effectively as
FedEx and UPS do?

Here, Graham is spot on......

Thank you.

Furthermore the idea of shopping as recreation is one that turns my blood cold.
It smacks of a very fucked-up society. I personally dislike most shopping for
the main part. It's time consuming and tedious. Spending money as a leisure
activity for its own sake ? Blech !

Yes, if deliveries weren't £5 a pop I'd be tempted.
