Exxon Mobile again hitting record profits.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

you would think wrong, Wal Marts 4th quarter profits for 2007 were 9.8% wow I guess you WERE right a total of two tenths less. I think what you all should do is just admit that you HATE the oil companies and that you think they should work for us for free, make our gas, sell it to us at cost and don't bitch about it. Because 10% profits are NORMAL for alot of industies. YOu have just decided that Oil is evil because you have to deal with it more directly than other businesses.

Virtually everything will look different next quarter. Perhaps the worst holiday shopping season in 20 years or so.
