patrick...and you look back about 10-15 years and you will see that profits are cyclical. You cannot overtax the oil industry, or any industry, just because it is having a good run. So the money should be returned to who ? What standards do you use ? And who should be in charge of returning it ? Again, the same worthless politicians who will sell their grandmothers for a vote ? A surefire way to royally screw the pooch will be to let the pols handle it.

super lib, i don't think she's smooth enough, diplomatically, to be SOS, but she seems to have reasonable attack-dog qualities, so maybe US Ambassador to the UN, where she can bully the third-world countries a bit
