You know whats funny I thought of the drug dealer analogy myself but it was so ridiculous I didn't bother to post it. This may strike you as odd but oil isn't illegal, its not bad, its very important in fact, and there is no 'taint' for 'dealing' it.
If we had no oil tomorrow, the US would be in chaos. We NEED oil, we need oil company CEO's, exploration, drilling, and gas station attendants. If we had no illegal drugs tomorrow, tomorrow would be a better day (unless you sell snack foods or get withdrawal).
My brain still recoils from your analogy, I think I'll just back away smiling, not showing my teeth.
