AWPC: The Rebel Rouser

Guy: The oil companies are making record profits and we're paying record prices for gas. It's pretty bad when you have to plan your vacation around how much gas you can afford.
Me: But people are still lining up at the pump.
Guy: But how much longer can we afford to? There ought to be some heavy regulation.
Me: Here's an idea. Why don't we do what Bolivia did? We forcibly take the assets of the oil companies, tell them, "You've made your profits. Get lost," and let Americans share in the wealth of the resources that belong to them as Americans.
Guy: Yeah. That'd show 'em.

I don't really want such a thing to happen. I am not a fan of Socialism, even if it is Democratic Socialism. But it was great to hear Americans agreeing with a Communist ideal. I got a good laugh out of that.

Does this mean you are going to get pipes like Jack's?
