2. I qualified that question with "price gouging"
If they didn't do that, there wouldn't be as much of a problem.

10. If only we could kick the habit
Once you're an addict you're willing to pay almost any price.

8. is a 10 percent profit margin price gouging? am i a pig?!?!?!?!?!?
chevron makes about 5.3 billion per quarter on sales of about 54 billion. BP is about the same even after paying out for the gulf disaster.

my profit margin is about 40 percent so i must be a real OINKER!!

ok, ok i only make about 30 k net so maybe just a piglet.

9. My first thought was "not enough."
But "a good start" will do.
