Skeet,
I don't disagree that it is a matter of responsibility. I'm just trying to show how these people want their cake and they want to eat it too. They want to live in a nice big home on a couple of acres, but they want it cheap, they want to drive a big SUV, but they want the gas for it to be cheap. They want to live an hour away from work and they don't want any traffic. Then, after they make their decisions and market circumstances change, they complain. Of course, I didn't hear him complainting when he miore than doubled his money when he sold his house in western Maryland and moved to Arizona.
As far as the oil companies are concerned, if they aren't price fixing, I say leave them alone. If they are price fixing, I say nail them to the wall. By the way, collusion in the market place by price fixing is illegal.
