that's right forget about gas prices - what we need is more education on which companies take repsonsibility when their "product" winds up on out beaches and the beaches of the wildlife that have nothing to do with this oil madness.

Gas prices are up and yet last year they posted record profits of over 30 BILLION dollars. Inspite of these record profits they still refuse to pay the paltry 5 billion in settlement money for the Prince William Sound spill 17 years ago. They claim that they should only have to pay 25 million and because of the amount spent on the clean up they have already covered that. There is still plenty of oil to be found in the beaches of the Sound and will be for years to come. Unfortunately they do not have any outlets in Alaska so Alaskans can not vote with their wallets on this issue. Mark in AK
