I was listening to some people on the Larry King show tonight talking politics. I nearly choked when I heard some talk show radio host guest say that he was tired of people giving energy companies a hard time. He said he was grateful every time he went to a gas station and was able to fill up his truck! The oil companies deserve these profits for the hard work they do in pumping oil out of the ground. So for this they are entitled to windfall profits while they suck the marrow out of the bones of the rest of us? Was this guy for real? I felt like I was watching Animal House and when the pledge is getting spanked with a paddle he is saying "thank you sir, may I have another". Tell you what mister radio show host, if you are so grateful for the oil companies giving us gas, why don't you pay the bill the next time I pay 100 bucks to fill up my gas tank!
And please don't tell me that we all own the oil companies. That is a bunch of propaganda put out by an industry association bought and paid for by big energy. They are raking in record, obscene profits and that money is going to fund their corporate fat cat lifestyles (maybe we should sell them some NAC).
I am not saying we should drill more or develop alternates faster, but don't sit here and insult me telling me we should be grateful every time we get shafted by big energy.
