The major concern of oil companies, and for that matter all business corporations, is to maximize their profits. But the point is not whether they have a right to do so but how they go about doing this. The record shows oil companies have been making enormous PART OF the learning process is in the time a student has to ponder the perplexing and wonderful words of wisdom he encounters in the classroom.
