    Yes! I'm glad the Rockefellers' said it. I'd like to see it done out of Exxon's "earnings!"

      Don't trust a Rockefeller.

      "We must break the bonds between families and lower the national intelligence."

      John D Rockefeller-1905 (at the time the richest man in the world, and respected grand Patriarch of the sprawling Rockefeller clan.)

      They invested heavily into EUGENICS, worked with the Nazis, and should not be trusted.

        Exxon is not a foundation like the Rockefeller's Foundation.

        Probably every 401K, every pension fund, every retirement fund and nearly all large stock mutual funds are owners of Exxon.

        Exxon has a responsibility to its owners to invest profits wisely.

          This has been at the top of the options for 30 years. Since 1978!

            There is little to be said to argue with a man who believes the middle east in the year 2008 is stable.

            Peace be with you.
