The Saudi Plastics Empire? Is Such A Thing Possible?

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Tue Apr-19-05 06:16 AM by DistressedAmerican

I was talking to my sister the other day about our mutual hatred of the corrupt Saudi Regime and the connections between them and the Bush Crime Family.

She is buying a hybrid car and experiencing a great deal of satisfaction at the thought of giving less of her hard earned cash to those repressive thugs.

The conversation shifted to other possible sources of Saudi Royal wealth and she brought up the fact that plastics are petroleum related products.

I'm not really that sure what goes into making plastics. Does it really involve oil?

Could the Saudis be making a killing on all of this cheap plastic crap that is in all of our homes these days? Anyone know?
