Practically...And who's oil is it anyway, the gov'ts', or the people's???

Well said comrade!

Here's a shovel. Go get "your" oil. Just pour it into the tank. Hmm? WTF! Car doesn't run on oil! Now WHAT am I going to do?

I know!! I'll use government force to make a bunch of people build a refinery for me so I can have gas that will make my car run.

I'm one of those people that doesn't believe in property taxes...I figure if I bought the land, I own it...So I think you're a bit confused in calling me comrade...

Apparently you support the idea of the gov't owning the land, even after you've paid for it, and the gov't owning the natural resources...

I'm one of those few people that still thinks I own the gov't as opposed to the status quo...So yes, if the oil companies refuse to build new refineries, I'll tell my gov't to build some...

And it won't cause a shortage of gasoline as some suggest because someone will refine oil for a billion dollars profit per year instead of 40 billion...

I'm a capitalist but not to the point that I will burn my furniture to stay warm while an oil exec makes half a billion dollars in wages on the oil I can't afford...
