| 47. If Corporations are now "people" |
|
Why is Halliburton not facing CRIMINAL charges?
This company needs to be broken into little pieces...small enough for us all to get a turn stomping on them.
Of course I'd also like to slap Cheney and the rest of the asshats who made the decisions to cut corners and do such shoddy work...But then again, when have they *ever* been held ACCOUNTABLE?
ugh... bastards
