Don't get me wrong. I'm an ardent capitalist. But when I encounter an "Enron attitude" corprate maggot, who's arragont actions feed the "pro-socialists", I'll flame him just as fast as I would a brat commie socialist.
Who knows. Maybe there is some merit to a net wide circulation to this idea.
I await your comments.

I don't know. I wouldn't put much faith in those figures. Many oil companies have such confusing sales practices it's hard to say where oil is coming from.

Check out the urban legends page at snopes before posting email stuff. This has been posted and debunked before.

Please stop post sh*t you get via email. This has been posted about a hundred times already, and has been debunked as an "urban legend" every single time.
This "story" is erroneous, on many levels.
Don't worry about the source of the gas you put in your car. But support Pres. Bush's initiative to increase our domestic production of petroleum and other energy sources.

I like it in principle but here's the problem.. you start buying gas from X company that doesn't buy saudi oil.. well the supply has to come from somewhere.. so as you decrease your buying habits from those companies that do you force the companies that don't to find more oil elsewhere.. A company doesn't tell a country like Russia to produce more to help their supply.. they go out to countries that are producing in order to fill demand.. nice in principal but there is still X barrels produced a day.

Amoco 62,231,000 barrels British Petroleum took over Amoco. The Board of Director's Meeting will be held in London this month. How many of the oil companie are now foreign owned?

This is an urban legend. I think it's even been posted here before, I've gotten this in e-mail right after 9/11 or thereabouts.
It's up there with the WTC tourist guy photos.
Having had a father involved in the oil industry for over thirty years, I can tell you, you have no idea where you really get your oil. It can pass through many nations. Some sight (snopes I think, but not sure) even mentioned that a high percentage of "Russian" crude is actually Iraqi/Iranian in nature, and so on.
