Why poke fun at the double standards in our society while exhibiting a large portion of it ourselves in the process? I won't come across with some kind of starry-eyed ide alism about the morays and virtues of remaining naive in a hassle prone world . So let's get our shi t together instead of throwing it into th e fan and getting it all ov er everybody else. Shoveling o ut y o ur hard earned cas h to some money hungry oil mogul may not be th e b est th ing for your he ad, but ripping off yo ur neighbor for y our own sale.. .] ez ...now that's very un -classi cal gas.

Fender bender If Ron Sch neid er ' s Gambit col umn b ent Presto n Petty 's fender , I hestitate to thi nk what he (Petty) thought of Chuck 's " Writin' Around" in Jan uary 22nd edi ti on. Most of my "bik in g" frie nds we re reall y pumped by R on's column and concurred com pletely (relax Prest on , they 're all ar ound thirty). Perhaps if Mr. Petty would consider how many millions of dollars in taxes were paid by the American Taxpayer in behalf of the oil companies (ever hear of the good 01' oil deple tion allowance?) he wouldn't be as awe-struck by the bargain prices he feels h e received.
