Don't be a boob. The many times over paid for infra-structure is there. And you know full well that there's absolutely NO reason for this blatant gouging. Does Enron energy price fixing scandal ring any bells? Why is it that no one ever questions the oil companies on this crap? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Okay, I'll try not to be a boob. But just tell me this - if the oil were YOURS, how much would you sell it for? Do you not like high profit? What kind of business are you in???? And why do you feel you deserve cheap fuel? It's not yours! They will charge what the market will bear. It's called capitalism. Interesting how, in the socialist counties, the price of gas is often twice what we pay.
As for AJC sounding like an environmental wacko, um.....well, yeah. Oil exploration did not turn a tropical rain forest into the Sahara Desert. Where in the hell did THAT idea come from???? By the way, I noticed on an ancient post of yours that you were a Fiero fan. I had a Formula Fiero that was one of my all time favorite cars - until it got run over by a semi...with me in it! Totalled the car - but I had not a scratch!
Anyway, enough rambling. I'm gonna go find a cool trail......
