Little Mr Mahatma

Good Guys
No, this isn't about the chain, it's about the Oil Companies. They're spending millions of dollar on ad campaigns to convince us that they're the Good Goys, that they're not gouging us poor consumers.


Meanwhile, back inreality, Exxon just posted over an $8 billion dollar gain, the fifth highest gain *EVER* for a public company.


So how are they the good guys? Because they give their shareholders value, that's how. And you and me could be shareholders but we're likely not. Why? Because instead of spending our money on oil stocks we're spending it on gas.


It gets better. Bush says he's going to investigate!!! There we go. Now we'll see some action. We'll see those Oil Executives get their come-uppance and their what-fors because Georgy is on the case.


Right and if you believe that any of the Oil Execs will get more than a finger wagging I have some land in downtown Baghdad I won't to show you. Good price too.


If there's was truly an oil shortage there'd be lines at the stations and the high price would at least look justified. But there is no shortage, just greed. The Oil Execs say it's a refinery problem but it's been, what?, three-four years since prices have started going up. Are they telling me that they can't fix or build a refinery in that time, that these profits aren't being used to fix or build new capabilities? Let's add gross mismanagement to their greed.


The Oil Execs should save their advertising dollars. The millions they spend there are simply waste and aren't fooling us. They can take those millions too and continue to laugh on their way to the bank.
