But we wear it..don't you.

How about all those cigs you smoke...supporting big tobacco that advertises towards young adults and such. The big, evil tobacco companies that have been caught putting things into the cigs to MAKE them addictive. Cigs kill more people a year than many other things yet you still support them...but you bash Haliburtion. Haliburtion supplies a lot of things to our troops so they can function in combat. They operate for profit just like the big tobacco companies you support with your habits. What a hippocrite. You won't buy oil stock and you can't sleep at night because of the evil haliburton but you can rest easy in your chair puffing on a cig which makes the tobacco companies big profits...I can't figure that one out. Somehow you must rationalize it so you can sleep.

You eat chicken and meat cut up and process by illegal immigrants that are working in a dangerous environemnt but I guess you don't lose any sleep over that either....

I guess you are just selective....

The bottom line world isn't perfect and no ONE person is going to fix all of the imperfections of it. Everything we consume probably has some type of "blood trail" or someone was taken advantage of in the process of getting it to us. It's the world we live in...

You remind me of my niece. She went through a period of time when she was a vegetarian and wouldn't eat meat. She told me that one day as she was wearing her leather jacket and leather shoes. (She was a liberal back then) Now that she is out of college and making a lot more money she loves big steaks and tax cuts...lol

Usuary and profit are two different animals.

Every few years Congress drags in the evil oil companies to investigate high prices and price gouging. Every time the result is the same, not guilty.

We have plenty of oil and other resources right here in the USA but we are on a course to be environmentally responsible. Things have a price and if $5 a gallon is the price for being green so be it. Suck it up and pay the price or change the policies and do something about it.

The gov't actually makes way more off of a barrel of oil than the oil companies. How's that for fraud?
