22. People always bitch...

Sorry, I've never bought this conspiracy theory. Yes, * has buddies in the petroleum business. But this is a business that has been depressed since about 1986. He and his buddies might be influential and trying to improve things, but the average worker or investor has taken it in the shorts.

Listen, the most important industries are still agriculture, transportation and energy. They need to be regulated, if not for any other reason than that these highs and lows are evened out. And who really owns these industries? Mostly old widows.
