I think you've more or less summed it up.  And the reason the government isn't listening to the people is in large part due to the campaign contributions and lobbying might that the oil companies pump into the political process each year.  We need to cut off that link--between the special interests and our representatives--and fix, as Dick Durbin calls it, "a system that, if it isn't corrupt, is corrupting."
