I guess I also have an overactive imagination.  That, and I am unaware
of oil rigs off our coastline unmanned.  It shouldn't surprise me.  If
you are correct, then my previous objections are moot.  If indeed our
oil companies are deliberately driving up prices, then I would
consider sending all of their CEOs to Guantanamo.  Well, no I
wouldn't, but I wouldn't be too depressed if a way could be found to
take all of their toys away that didn't involve interminable,
expensive litigation.  I might even concur to using our National Guard
to man these purported oil rigs.
