We need a witch hunt. Lets find the oil speculators and chop off their heads. Yes. I mean it. They are absolutely hurting a lot of people because of their greed.
I'm sure there are others who also yell at their TVs when they see the outrageous greed of these companies. I'm making more and more of my purchasing decisions based on companies' attitudes toward the consumers they serve and communities they do business in.
When Barbara Ehrenreich was in town a couple of years ago she suggested that communities begin to set up standards or guidelines about how they want businesses to behave -- including items about sustainability and ethics. It's a little hard to see that happening now but I do see the City Council occasionally thinking along those lines, even if it doesn't make much progress.
