Items which are integral to our lives;
Water
Electricity
Food
Health Care
Telecommunications
Clothing
It is true that the need for oil products permeates the entire fabric of our lives today. But we also have an equal need for water, electricity, food, and health care...without any of these our lives are severely disrupted.
It's either a free and open market system based on supply and demand or it's socialism...
