Ernie,

There is nothing wrong with making a profit.  When it is earned... How much money and how much
risk is involved it making 6.5 billion.   I seem to recall some ship named Valdeze?  that cost
Exxon quite a bit.

Heck they aren't even making the major share of profits... like say the government.  So go ahead
and let them blame it on the Hurricanes, (competition will work it's way out).  Just don't let
some Government offical complain about gouging.
