Investors are not the heart and soul of America and you know it. Do you want more oil companies, or less oil companies, providing services to Americans? I want more. That means they have to compete with each other more, and provide me with cheaper oil. In order to have more oil companies some group needs to invest in the oil industry. Your F investor approach is a recipe for keeping the oil industry monopolistic. They are the investors. In fact it's all a big casino. You're not doing the country any good by buying Exxon or Halliburton stock. You're hurting other people. because they have gotten so corrupt and out of control. I don't own any Halliburton or Exxon stock. We're talking about deregulating the oil industry to encourage competition and bring down the industry's profit margins. That occurs best through competition, and occurs worst through regulation.The People have the power in the Constitution, not the corporations. What power are you talking about? The Constitution doesn't even discuss corporations as far as I know. You want oil, you gotta pay for it. The more companies that are trying to sell it to you, the lower their profit margin, and the better for you. You don't have any bill of right to cheap oil...That's why Bush wants to over-ride the constitution with phony directives so he doesn't have to obey any laws. What a bunch of major league crooks. We're talking a trillion doillar ripoff scheme. Mostly completed. This sentence is an example of why people think you are an idiot. We were discussing the oil industry, not Bush. I could care less about your view of Bush. I also think he's a bad President. Get over it!! If you want to discuss Bush, find the one person in the country that likes him, and the two of you can have a discussion. Nobody likes GB. But nobody likes you as well, because of your obssessive hatred of GB and love for Kerry. Fix yourself and worry about GB later. In fact, that's it. I'm no longer writing in Kerry in '08 because of you. You've just lost a vote for Kerry.
