Subject: Re: M-INTRO: are all oil companies the same?


I don't know much about the oil industry, but I do
know that they have a lot of control.  If they raise
there prices you are pretty much guaranteed that the
price of everything else goes up, starting with milk. 
But it seems to me that the oil from Venezuela would
be at least a little better, in Marx eyes, because it
is still benefiting the people of Venezuela, and not
just the owners of the company.  But I must agree in
part with Yenom because even though they may be
smaller then other oil companies, they still have a
lot of power in the economies that use that oil.  So
it is hard to say.
