It would be interesting to see if you are as generous with your praise when
buying medicine. Profit margins up, misstatement of reserves, the suppression
of technologies that can compete with the petroleum industry and oil companies
and a willingness to justify any increase at pump with part truths only draws
into focus your argument that these basically foreign owned companies are the
"good guys" as being the company line. That fifty percent of the cost of fuel
in CA is due to taxes is certainly an exaggeration. I don't care what fuel
costs I just don't like being lied to by large corporations like Enron, BP,
Shell, Global Crossing and the like.
Please take no offense at my statements, none were meant, but the oil
companies don't need defending.
