RE:I must admit......
That last sentence of yours,DB, is the one that is creeping in to this conversation but I don't want to entertain it. maybe I'm in denial, but I just can't understand it with oil so low. Maybe if oil was 100 bucks they could try to use some pretense to say they weren't getting a high enough royalty or taxes, but at 40 dollars!!! No margin there for even the dumbest tax accountant in this environment. But something has upset the donkey cart over there and we are left with the sheit!
