It would be nice if people with zero understanding of the industry such as yourself (don't worry your not alone, you represent millions of people) would just have half an open mind to learning something.

I mean, can't you just sit back for a second and say to yourself, maybe I don't know everything there is to know about the topic ... and that your background may not exactly be the best platform to base your beliefs from?
I know enough that petroleum is a dirty, nasty bit of business involving drilling through a bunch of rock often in remote locations with inhospitable weather all for the liquified remnants of Dino the Dinosaur and his fern-filled former habitat. They're not doing it for fun and I know its a pretty important engine of our economy.

Anything else I need to know? I think I've pretty much got it covered in layman's terms.
