'It's Truly Remarkable'.............read it and boil! If that's not enough, the money you're paying at the pumps is translating directly into record-breaking, billion-dollar profits, for the big oil companies. Exxon reported 1st quarter profits of $5 billion, an increase over last year of about 45%. "It's truly remarkable," Boguch said. Year-end earnings for Texaco show $2.8 billion profit. That's up 135 percent over the year before. Chevron's profit for 2000 was $5.1 billion, a jump of 150% from 1999.

Moron: Somebody has to pay for 20+ years of refinery capacity that we are behind. $$ goes to the oil companies, and they build the plants. But they have to pay unnecessary stuff to liberals and their lawyers all along the way (call it tribute). The reason: It makes those liberals FEEL good, thinking they "stuck it" to Big Oil. As long as you allow it-you pay more. It's really that simple. Take that money away, and you freeze, fry, or die, depending, of course, on your personal tastes...
