Rape of the American People.

39.5 BILLION Dollars. Thats $39,500,000,000.00. Exxon/Mobil posted that amount as their year end profit for 2006. {180 million dollars per day, give or take a million} .
Read the article

The big oil companies, essentially have us by the short ones. Given that we all depend on gas to fuel our vehicles, and that there really is no support in our government for alternative fuels/energy sources, companies like Exxon/Mobile , BP, and many others will continue to post these outrageous profits, while we the consumers continue to struggle to pay for their products.
Perhaps if our government would require a portion of these profits to be invested in " alternative fuel studies" { meaning a replacement for oil/gas} , this whole rape thing might not seem as bad. However, we all know that the current administration is in bed with the oil companies, and higher profits mean more money for the politicians ,therefore why mess with a good thing?

OK, enough bitching on my part. I just needed to get that off my chest. Maybe I'll post more later . We'll see.
