[Vision2020] Exxon Rakes in $40.6 Billion Record Profit

[deb]

Indeed. For once I agree with Pat, sort of. I come from a different basis of 
belief, however. If you pay someone fifty bucks to punch you in the nose, do 
you have right to complain that they fulfilled the bargain? That is exactly 
what the US is doing. As long as we continue in the on the path of "I want 
my oil, now!" we have no right to complain about the oil companies reaping a 
profit. The oil industry does what we pay them to do; they must make a 
profit to continue to supply our (and their shareholders) expectations. 
Solutions? We better find them.....peak oil is about done, folks!

I am making less car trips to town, making them count, buying and supporting 
local, growing organic, riding a bike whenever possible.....recycle 
everything!!! Downcycle if it won't recycle!!!! Think about how much YOUR 
income depends on gasoline....why/ How? Can that change?
