Horseshit
Sorry about the title of this post, but that's exactly how I feel about Exxon/Mobile's 2nd quarter profit earning. It wasn't as much as their last quarter, but it was close to beating the record. Is it a mere coincidence Big Oil is reaping big profits while gas prices are at an all time high? Gotta be price gouging.
Hell, we have Iraq why not take a little oil for our trouble?

I agree. I couldn't believe that when I heard it. I think we should all get some kind refund (or free stock).

Well, given the number of consumers who buy gas every day we could easily overpower gas stations and take all the gas we need.
I saw we form a "consumer's union" and negotiate our own gas prices.

What would stop our "consumer's union" from becoming a violent gang of gas thieves, a la Mad Max?
Remember, it's all fun and games until a razor boomerang takes someone's head off.

I agree they need to give something back, or better yet, bring gas prices to their true, uninflated value. They blame higher demand and mideast turmoil. I blame the higher prices on giving the previous CEO a $350 million retirement package.

No C, a TWM comment list would include an obligatory jab at conservatives via the republican party.
