We only get half of the story!

...Who is to blame then? how many SUV
do we own per family? can we make fair judgments!!!...

The LA Times reported on April 29 2006 Exxon Mobil made a net income of $8.4 billion on sales of 89 billion for the quarter, a margin of 9.4%. Read this article alone and the oil companies sure appear to be the bad guys. But what about Microsoft 2.98 billion on sales of 10.9 billion for the same time period, a margin of 27.3%!!!

For some of you business geeks will agree that a profit of 9.4 % is a good but not out scale margin. What about 27.3%, who is doing the jacking up in this picture?

Who is to blame then, how many SUV do we own per family? Do we need a beast of a vehicle for grocery shopping?

Now days you can not longer take what the media reports, most of the times is poorly researched and inconclusive to make fair judgments!!!
