(10,495 posts)enchilada! However, right now we have a Foriegn corporation who is using its untold wealth to warp our judicial system and cover up one of the biggest ecological, economical, and preventable disasters. BP, using politicians that it owns, using the media which it bribed, and using the Court system which it also bribed, to fuck over the Gulf coast residents and businesses. They caused the explosion and spill b/c of greed. They were behind their schedule so they cut a lot of corners. They sprayed Corexit on the oil to sink it out of sight so it could not be counted, thus reducing their fine for violating the Clean Water Act. They have aired their propaganda non-stop on Coastal stations making BP the biggest coastal advertiser by far. None dare to write or show anything negative about BP. What is happening to the victims is grossly under reported. The oil and Corexit are killing and/or sterilizing the sea life. They have used their money to bribe the Plaintiffs Steering Committee which were appointed by the Judge (his friends).
We need complete campaign finance reform and to bust up the too big media companies on our airwaves! This shit needs to change. Why did Obama say we were going to look forward, not back? We have too big to prosecute, too corrupt to care!
