twitterLetter: Do we want country run by oil men?
Thursday, Aug. 24, 2000 | 9:31 a.m.
Whether it is land fraud, slant drilling into other property, or selling investors on dry holes, the industry's history is replete with con games.
God better help us as the oil companies have their hands in our pockets today -- check the pump prices. If that is not enough, turn to your history books. One only needs to look at the early history of Standard Oil and John D. Rockefeller to see it spelled out in its goriest details.
How can we trust the future of our nation in the hands of two oil men, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?
