It's that we need to be making serious investment in getting off of fuel. I realize people need to get to work. Rather than give away the free tax money we've been giving away, we should have been spending bigtime on mass transit and building a national electric grid. Hopefully in 2009 we'll start making some real moves.

We're stuck with oil for now, and if we make some structural decisions don't have to be stuck with it later.

Yes, XOM has competition, and none of the competitors are very easy to like. I realize there are more intricacies between the oil types and processes, but when it comes down to it, if we pick one company not to like, it doesn't fix anything.
