Whilst vilifying an industry folks tend to overlook many, many things. In this case probably one of the biggest things, human life. I'll bet T42 and all the other haters never gave a thought to themselves or someone they love more than likely owes their very life to Big Oil. How can this be, they'll ask??? And the answer is so simple, looking them right in the eye, but still unnoticed. How can this be??? And how can some folks be so narrow minded as to not realize this? So next time you hear T42 and others sarcatiscally chant, "BIG OIL AND GAS LOVES US", remember that even though they don't mean it they are absolutely correct!

DaNewt Veteran Author Illinois Posts:457 Points:101,180 Joined:May 2011	Message Posted: Apr 14, 2012 1:15:00 AM Ignore DaNewt Report Abuse Don't forget the 'big greed' of the government. Remember at least half of your cost at the pump consists of taxes, fees, regulatory items. Can't pile on big oil for that. That is big government.
