Come up my road every day in your 30 mpg 2wd econobox
Again, I'm feeding kids over here, with 200 inches of snow, and washed out roads.
The size of my ass has not much to do with me owning/driving a 4X4 Suburban.
Let be cool, shall we?
Being from a farming community originally I'd agree with you, off road vehicles have their place. Last time I checked the cities round here didn't have roads like that though?
Fwopping, you know you want to!

There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary. Those who do and those who don't.
Ok - $4.6 million an hour. Is that pure profit? Do you think they have some operating costs? Hmmm... Gotta think they might. They also pay taxes. LOTS of taxes. Even with tax breaks.
Bush can't open the Alaskan reserves. Greenies again. But Alaska isn't the answer. Conservation is a good start though.
China and India pay the same for oil as we do. If you are so naive to think the US is the only country paying for oil, you need to start looking outside your own back yard.
I buy goods internationally each day - I've seen goods go up 15-20% in the last 3-4 months. The only reason things are rocketing upward is because of questionable fiscal policy. Oil is traded in US dollars. As the dollar is de-valued, do you think oil is going to get cheaper?
Obscene profits? Look at healthcare. And look at insurance companies.
Think about it a little.
Dude, you really don't need to drink all that Bush Kool-Aid anymore. Don't get pissed when someone has an anti-neocon viewpoint. I understand some are getting worried because another viewpiont is about to take over the White House. Doesn't sit well with some. But it's OK. No biggie. Really, get over it.
And yes, the 4.6 Million was pure profit. The Washington Post did a decent article last February about Exxon and Chevron. Look it up, interesting stuff.
