You don't own Nike shoes do you ...? Or anything else that says "Made in the Phillipines" or "Made in Indonesia" on it?

If you want to find someone/some entity to be angry about gas prices, you should look no further than the government, whose taxes contribute a lot more to the price of gas than the profit margin at the pump.
