Re: Exxon posts record profits- again

Hey Rubber, Your gas is very potent methane and obviously contributes to the GW problem as green house gas, (you are a rather large source: Rubber). That said: their is a significant supply of oil in them thar fields: greater then Prudehole Bay so I'm told, which has been going for nearly 30 years. Bro Haut: ('Comrade' is a term of indearment for Commies: we are talkin Capitalism here Bro), FYI: it takes considerable time and resources to bring the crude to where it can be refined, and the oil markets are in a fairly tight suppy - demand situation so significant domestic production does have a very big impact. That's the way things work: Bro. JR

Tight supply? Pshaw!
The only reason that there is a tight supply is because it is being manipulated.....
There is plenty of oil available elsewhere....
The Saudis & the rest of OPEC will just cut production & prop the price...;)
I forgot to mention the poor caribou being displaced.....
I thought you voted for 933? :)

Me thinks you make my point Bro. Why do ya want our part time allies and full time enemies to control all the significant CURRENT oil supply? What's this have to do with your new name for me: 'Knuckle'?

ANWAR ain't gonna change that, as much as you wish it would......;)
I said anyone who voted for 933 was a knucklehead.....
I wasn't sure that you fit into that club.....
But, I must admit that I had my suspicions.....:)
Please don't take it personally, it was meant as a blanket statement.....JK

Hey Bro: Prudehole bay has had a significant positive impact on oil prices for nearly 30 years, (which most don't cornsider a "short term"). If ANWAR is bigger then that, (that's what the experts say don't they), then another 30 years of having a currently producing domestic supply couldn't be as bad as ya think could it? Did ya know that Caribou are flurishing, they love to hang near the pipline, as it is warmer then freezin' an breaks the wind, don't ya know Bro Haut?

I don't mean to take sides or belittle the intelligent discussion in this thread but was was just wondering if someone could enlighten me as to why, when the price of oil goes up $10 a barrel, gasoline goes up 20 cents a gallon the next day but when oil comes down $10 a barrel, the pump price drops a nickel - two weeks later.

JR, thanks for your straight forward, honest answer. If you had tried to bs it away with some economic theory I would have had to pinch one off in here.

I'm from the 'right' coast originally, but have been here 15+ years.......
The 'fog' comment was a reference to your 'mentor' touting Ronald Ray-gun's missile program, which they couldn't test in the fog last year.....
The fog doesn't bug me a bit, btw.....In fact, once it lifted, it was 50+ & sunny in glorious Greenwood.....
Wa. women can't hold a candle to a real Jersey girl, btw........;)

Hey Rubber! Than's the beauty of a PROFIT MOTIVE. It's in your face, and real hard to miss. I don't know of many successful CAPITALIST enterprizes in any industry that don't want to make money. Glad you did not 'pinch one off', as I don't know how many brain cells it takes to be a Cornservative, and your gas may kill enough to turn me into a permanent Democrat or worse yet: a Commie! JR
