A very nice apologetica that conveniently makes no mention of the

factors.

I love this line: "In other words, it's not profitable to build new
refineries and refine more oil because the lower price of gas won't
provide sufficient return on investment."

Right, I believe that b.s., just as I believe all the other oil
company
lies.

Funny, they start your own oil company and prove them wrong....

oh wait, Harry is broke.

Uh, only in your dreams, po' boy.


Well, if you had some money to invest you wouldn't be gripping so much.

I rest my case fleabagger.


You misunderstand, my dumb correspondent. I'm griping about the oil
companies as examples of corporations that need to be controlled. The
increased petrol prices aren't causing me any pain. I do, however, shop
for bargain prices, which is why I shop at our local market, which earns
me ten cents off a gallon for every hundred dollars I spend.


So why would you control private business? So it can be as efficient at
disposing of money as Government Motors?

Please, I could use a good laugh. Specifically in detail how government
sticking its nose in supply and demand is going to work -- without
massive debt and taxation of course...

If I were Canada, Venezuela, Brazil, Saudi, or whomever, why would I
sell it to you below cost?
