We don't like the fact that the oil companies are showing record profits anymore than you do, but there is only one way to stop it! Stop it at the source. The more of us that stop using the black crack, the easier it would be to create alternative fuels. Everyone bitches about the gas prices, well what are you doing to fix it? Not only are they showing record profit, but we're showing record demand for the stuff. It's supply and demand. I for one use my motorcycle more, I'm trying my part.

How is making a profitable film not free-enterprise? That's why I never understood the complaint that Michael Moore makes money off his films. If free enterprise is the most perfect system and a film maker is succesful within that system, what's the problem?
