I know it so sucks that Exxon keeps posting record breaking profits every quarter of BILLIONS of dollars. I so feel for them.. Poor Exxon.

#1 If you buy gas, plastic, or food made with petroleum-based fertilizers, etc, YOU are Exxon. Oil companies exist because you buy their products. All pubic companies are extremely competitive and are forced to be that way by YOU. They are competing for your investment.

Exxon did not want the spill to happen, they lost money because of it. Their reaction to the spill is awful, but only because YOU and I would take our investment elsewhere, if they didn't fight to pay the least amount possible.

Let's all work to shut the them DOWN! Corruption will NOT survive! Human life is far more important then oil. Also, we have oil under every state in the U.S...but environmentalists keep us from it with litigation.....Stop it all dead ....and marshall forces to get that oil...until we have all electric or biodeisel cars....

Yes we need an Energy Revolution for we no longer need to use coal or oil for our energy needs. The time to switch from an energy system of enslavement to an energy system of personal independence, energy independence for what BP calls the, "Small People." Vote for True Green Solutions in August on the Pepsi Refresh Project for real change. For we have the technology we just need to make the switch over.
