*** Poverty is a choice..."
First off, most union members (not all) are lazy, because they can be, that's a fact. Second, Exxon is not my friend, just another huge company (the biggest in the USA, by revenues, I believe), and lastly, nobody chooses to be poor, IMO, they may end up that way possibly because of some of the choices they have made in the past, but they can also choose to try to reverse their misfortune. They may or may not be successful but not for lack of trying. I guess I might fail Dickey's course. Oh yeah, just a thought... Exxon is raking in the cash, but is that their fault ?   They make more money as oil prices rise, but do they set the price of oil ? Let's face it, it's about supply and demand and demand is huge due to the gluttenous appetites of Americans and others who refuse to conserve. So blame yourselves, not Exxon !!!
