Greed has gotten us where we are today. As far as I`m concerned there is no future if we don`t clean up are act in the oil industry.These GREEDY oil rich bastards don`t care at all.If this country had a better public transportation system we all could stick it to the man by taking a bus to work, alas we don`t so we pay $3.55 a gal and rising by the hour because these oil companies have thwarted every effort known to squash public transportation in this country. GREED is all these people and they are being aided and abetted by our own president. These OIL executives ought to be thrown in jail. Greed has gotten us where we are today.

It's like arguing that there are nearly a thousand acres of land in Central Park which could be made available to real estate speculators. Sure, you could develop condominiums there, but then you wouldn't have Central Park. In the future, should the need for more land become so pressing that you are willing to sacrifice the quality of life for everyone in Manhattan, you can still raze Strawberry Fields and the Sheep Meadow. In the end what we have to show for it will be more record profits for the already fabulously rich oil executives and the loss of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
