It's sad - but we actually need oil prices at a 'higher' level for the good of the whole economy. (not crazy high, just high enough to make it profitable).

When people talk about those low oil prices and cheap gas - remember, that oil all came from the middle east. So we can go back to depending on them for our oil or we can pay a bit more for it and dig it up here.

OK and where does GREED come into the equation? I mean since when does oil 'JUST have to make a profit'?

I heard it said (

) that OPEC was doing this to get rid of the frackers.

Did you really do doughnuts in our reliable but not durable cars?

You should be careful about calling someone a genius when you have a typo in your own reply.

Ya I think it's an unwritten rule- I've never found it in writing anyways. Then again I'm stupid...

Gas is down to $0.95 L in parts of lower main land BC eh.

Greed? It's called fiscal responsibility. If it costs more to pull oil out of the ground than what you can sell it for - that's a bad business and will soon be bankrupt.

You don't work for free, so neither will these companies.

I filled up with 93 Octane yesterday for $2.01 per gallon.

I don't blame the politicians when gasoline is $4.00 per gallon and I don't blame them when it is $1.70 per gallon.

Enjoy it while you can.

OPEC is flexing, smiling and completely relaxed. Politicians are nervous...

Look at exon's profits over the years...they make a lot of fiscal responsibility.

A perfect example of Capitalism in action. And everyone who complains about it should either A) move to Russia or B) wise up and buy some stock!

We can all benefit from these companies profits - that's another thing that makes our countries great.

and the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.... it's a perfect system, really it is...Wait 'til they flex the other way...

Yes, the rich get richer. Why? Because they are smart enough to use the system to their advantage. Anyone can do the same thing. It takes some guts, some smarts and yes, some luck, but it really doesn't take a lot of money to get started. So quit whining cause you aren't smart enough to do what so many others have.

Nothing is more pathetic than an intelligent person assuming they know me and what I've done and not done during my lifetime. BTW your angry attitude sucks and I'd like you better if you were a little more upbeat. You must be young or stupid because you lack humility severely.
