11. uh, you're completely missing the point
the point is that the oil companies don't want lower prices, of course they don't, they're experiencing RECORD PROFITS right now. Look at the quarterly reports for any of the major oil companies for the last year and a half.

The point is that they're making people THINK that if they are allowed to drill in Alaska that gasoline prices will lower.

All they want is to get their hands on the oil in the Alaksa refuge.

That's it. Bottom line.

How is it you don't understand that?
