[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1608714, member: 3099"] QFT! I caught that and I've just skimmed it. I find it extremely amusing and at the same time downright depressing that people are just so uninformed. How about we just pull the plug on all the oil companies for about 3 months? Just have the .gov order them to cease and desist ALL operations. We would have Armageddon for sure then and probably inside of a month. I don't think that people are going to "see the light" until it hits them straight upside the head. It's already been touched on but why isn't the profit margin of Microsoft, Apple, GE and such criticized? Hmm? It's only several times MORE than ALL the evil big mega conglomerate oil companies afterall. Why is it NEVER recognized that the oil and gas industry is what built this country? Without it where would we be? What if we were in the same boat as, oh let's say Germany, and we had to import basically all of our oil? Why is it never recognized that the oil and gas industry pumps billions into the economy and employs thousands of people in almost every state with good paying jobs that provide a great standard of living? Why is it never recognized that the little mom & pop dry cleaner around the corner from where you live just might still be in business because a good portion the management at Chesapeake, Devon, Sandridge or whoever happens to have their wives drop their dry cleaning off to be done there every week? Why is it NEVER recognized that the oil companies donate heavily to charities and local community projects? Why is it never recognized that the oil companies spend an average of in excess of $2,000,000 dollars on EVERY SINGLE well they drill, all the while not knowing if they are ever going to see one red cent for their efforts? Yes, they do still drill dry holes folks.... [/QUOTE]
