(8,244 posts)Exxon loves kids, Exxon loves schools, Exxon jobs are saving America... Why should Exxon be able to fill the news channels with lies and emotional appeals, while treating the atmosphere like an open sewer. It's a direct assault against the people who depend on this planet for their lives.
I agree with the ad, Exxon does hate children, otherwise they would stand down from their mission of trying to burn every last drop of oil on the planet. Because if they succeed in their oil burning plans, it could mean the end of human civilization, and that is not hyperbole.

(13,390 posts)Exxon hates your children.. including those of the employees who sell gas and the people who drive cars to feed theirs? We live in a world where real hatred is on display, and it is not coming from people who don't make global warming a priority because it would interfere with their American Dream. Focusing on self interest is not outward hatred.
