I recall wise lyrics of Bob Dylan, who (IMO) got it right in his song:

"But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
It may be the devil, or it may be the Lord
But, you're gonna have to serve somebody"

I kind'a know whose interests the oil industry serves, the corporate folks and its shareholders.

But, the real question is, whose interests are governments serving at any particular time (up front, and behind the scenes), that of society, local small industry and the environment, or the folks who fund the election of their party?
