Hi,
High oil prices? Yeah, China and India have discovered the free market. Consider their population and per capita energy usage. The consider the same for us in the USA. Now project what it will be when they achieve our standard of living. Gasp, we might almost have to pay as much for gas as the Europeans do (presently we pay about 40% as much).
Quit griping, get a Vespa.

Ya know, if high crude oil prices were really that tough on big oil, big oil couldn't turn those kind of numbers. I know Exxon missed profit estimates, but still, appx. $1,490 profit per second is a bit much.
