Liquid Coal  The last few days or so, a friend I met in 2nd life
pointed me to a book that she wanted me to read called "The
Princess Trilogy" by Jean Sasson. Now, this book doesn't paint
the Saudi Arabians in too nice of a light. In fact, its a true
story and its kind of shocking. But what was interesting was,
that this book is a bestseller and it is so difficult to find.
First, I couldn't find it at the big book sellers. Then I
couldn't find it in the rare book sellers. I live in a city
where there is 3 million people. No one. Finally I found one of
the three volumes on a bookshelf near where I live.  Liquid coal

killed off, they pay too much for hybrids, and american auto
manufacturers, even to the point of driving them to near
bankruptcy - continue to make gas
