Corporations are not, like any individual, entitled to commit treason
with impunity.... no matter how important profit is, to some self
centered investors...


How unAmerican of you, Gene! :)
Don't you believe in corporations über alles?

I believe we need to "restructure" certain aspects of our society, and
part of that restructuring should be how we handle leases to explore and
drill for oil and natural gas.

There's nothing sacred about for-profit corporations. That model isn't
working anymore for us. It's milking the middle class dry and
accelerating the transfer of wealth to the very rich.

There are any number of oil-producing countries in which ownership of
that asset is retained by the state, and the revenues used to finance
the government. The problem here is that Americans have been brainwashed
into thinking the price-fixing, for-profit private sector that dominates
the energy business is the only way to do that sort of business.


This collectivization thing was tried before and it failed miserable.
Also, government control of all industry has failed miserable too.


Actually, every government before the governments we have today failed
from one or more of corruption, idealistic corrupt socialism, power
greed when government got to big and dysfunction...all resulting in
their disappearing. Roman Empire comes to mind but tons of others too.
