We're talking about a shortage of natural gas and a high cost of energy. Yet as I look across the room tonight, I see several people that wanted to come after Hilcorp to increase their taxes. You don't exactly have a whole lot of people lining up to want to do business with you, Alaska. We've been a terrible business partner.
