I THINK THAT WE ARE BEING DUPED


Exxon, the worlds largest oil company, is reporting a profit of $8.5 BILLION this quarter and is the fifth highest profit in history for a public company.

Amid the soaring gas prices, there is an expected to be a public backlash. I, for one, dont even know where to begin. We are being duped, people, and it needs to stop. I wish I had some suggestion and am opening up the floor for someone to lay out the plans for the revolution!
