$55,000.00 a minute that's how much BP made in profit this last quarter

I think they should raise the price of gas even more so we can be trickled on. I keep waiting and waiting and waiting but the trickle that was promised has not yet happened to me. It has been much more like a huge flow only going from me and not to me. BP didn't even do as well as Exxon but yet still managed to make as pure profit fifty five thousand dollars a minute and is laughing all the way to the bank with it. Probably twenty thousand dollars a minute will go to GOP. How does that make you feel?

1. Wow. That really puts it in perspective....

Meanwhile, how many people die worldwide every minute from starvation, treatable illnesses and war?


525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

2. I nominate this as the saddest & funniest thread.

I feel like I'm caught in a global dark comedy.

3. I saw that on the Daily Show last night

Could this also be considered "War Profiteering"? I think it could and should be and there should be laws against such a thing.
