It is your voluminous bullshit that covers this issue. ExxonMobil is posting record multiples of profits, on top of previous records. Your selfserving selective pricing info, even where it's not just a lie (Saudi oil costs much less than $15), is just a total distraction. Not just American oil companies, but the foreign ones too are gouging Americans on prices, making windfall profits that exploit the economy they're damaging. The Congress passes out corporate welfare to all those countries when the lies about "protecting the economy" aren't hurtful enough to wake up Americans. Now that they've sucked us dry, it's time to turn the tables and use the same government intervention to keep America safe from these predators.

I didn't say we need to invade more countries for their oil: I said that we paid too much for the one we did invade. I know you worship the Republican fantasy, but unless you've got your own oil company, your covering for these enemies of Americans is really disgusting. You're one of them. Why do you hate America?

This is exactly the sort of thing that the operating system needs to figure out for itself if Linux is ever going to widely accepted as a desktop and laptop system.

You're an Anonymous meaningless Coward. If you're frustrated enough to post such twaddle, why not do something quieter, but constructive? Like walk to work or something.
