Why the hell do you hate "big oil" so much?

Lee — 9/3/2008 3:21:27 AM (archived)

Where do you think the fuel for your car comes from? The plastic for all the stuff in your house? The polyester for those cool leasure suits of yours? The wrap from the grocery store that keeps your food fresh and clean?

Being against "big oil" makes about as much sense as being against "big food", "big auto", "big medicine", and "big communications".

        Maybe just the leadership. - Lee - 9/2/2008 11:26:39 PM
        
        Yes, because your party despises them. - ER - 9/3/2008 1:30:24 AM
        
        Of course we ignore them. - Lee - 9/3/2008 3:12:52 AM
