You also lied about Bush's EPA not being invaded by pollution lobbyists I didn't respond directly to your claim of "pollution lobbyists" at all. You throw around "liar" at the drop of a hat, and almost never have anything behind the charge. That's both anti-social and unreasonable. How many Exxon shares do you own? Directly? Zero, but I'm sure that the mutual funds I own, own some shares. But than again even if I was the largest owner of XOM your tact here would just be en.wikipedia.org Are you just defending some self-serving financial scheme to profit off gas gouging and pollution? Hard to profit from pollution. Maybe the people who clean it up profit from it. People profit of activities which have pollution as a side effect but the pollution itself is at best neutral to them, and most likely is a cost. As for gouging, you haven't even alleged any activity that's actual gouging, and you've done a lousy job arguing price-fixing. The only way I profit from increased gas prices is that oil companies shares in S&P 500 funds go up, but then other shares probably go down, and also I have to pay more to fill up my tank, so I'm a net loser when gasoline prices go up.
