Did you know the endowments of Harvard, Yale, and others went up over 20% last year? Those private universities are just sitting on the cash, while Big Oil is at least reinvesting in new energy sources (even green) and paying dividends to help support little old ladies in retirement. They reference one WaPo article that says Big Oil profit could educate 60,000 kids... well the increasing endowments at Harvard could let Harvard build a dozen more Harvards and educate that many kids each year. Who should get nailed with a windfall profits tax? <BR /> <BR /><a href="http://www.evolvingexcellence.com/blog/2008/06/windfall-profit.html" rel="nofollow">Evolving Excellence article</a> <BR /> <BR />Ken The manufacturing guys over at Evolving Excellence had a good post today on "big oil" relatively low profit margins, but with a twist.

I think he's a true believer. Which, given what he believes in, scares the hell out of me. I don't think he can turn the gobbledygook off. I think he's a true believer.
