And I am very happy with the positions Palin's taken. I can only hope she is just as staunch as Vice President. Certainly, talk of "windfall profits" haunts me, as it suggests that these guys just got rich for doing nothing. The government doesn't drill for oil, refine it and move it to gas stations where people can pump it into their vehicles. These private companies do. And when you look at their MARGINS compared to other private sectors, such as IT, biotech, entertainment and others, oil companies actually aren't all that profitable. Be that as it may, it's absolutely stupid to think that the drilling for oil issue is solely an environment issue. Or solely an automotive issue, as Senator Goodwrench Obama spoke... We need the stuff from everything from makeup to flying jets through the skies, cargo ships across the seas and trains containing cars, computers and canned soup all over the fruited plain. And the more oil costs, the more EVERYTHING will cost. And it's not good enough that we're expected to just suck it up, pay more and use less. We need to make more, like the way the rest of the world is. Fortunately for us, Sarah Palin is well aware of that and is pushing to get that done. Finally.
