Message	An accurate gage of profit is not how much money total. A percentage revenue is more accurate way to look at it. Exxon had 10% profit margin. That is not that much. When you list how much their profit is it is misleading because they are a huge company that provides a product that all most everyone in the world uses (and that is increasing as countries develop). Compare their profit margin with other companies from last year. 3M 17% Microsoft 29% General Electric 13% Hating companies that put gas in your Z will not accomplish anything. I think everyone is getting caught up in media hype (that has an agenda behind it). Be informed, be reasonable JoneZ 90' 300ZX TT
