I find it odd that just because you happened to own land that sits over an oil field that you get to own the rights to the oil. Something nature made, nothing you had to do with that took millions of years to happen and now 1 person can own it. It doesn't seem right. I'm surprised that decades ago the gov. didn't seize ownership of all oil fields in the country. they could still keep it as an enterprise where they sell it to the refineries at a cheap cost so they can process it and resell it to consumers. the fact that a dozen people have all the say in oil prices is just bullshit, it should be owned by the masses.
Now I know the same can be said about gold, diamonds etc.. or other natural resources, but those don't have the same impact on the day to day life of mankind as oil does.
