  If a few of us work together really quickly do you think we can design the carbon calorie calculator fast enough to get in on this, and make part of the money that this whole thing is all about for ourselves? If we can make a profit from this it might help pay of the carbor calorie taxes that are sure to be here soon. Might as well make some profit like the people that do the type of "reserach" (you know, where you decide what you want the results to be, then design the research projects to give you the answer you started with), why shouldn't some of us that know it's bs make some money off of this bs too?
