So then Biscuit by your logic, it matters not how you come by a product, right? It doesn't matter whether we ignore safety regulations, lie, cheat, influence congress, buy politicians, lie before an accident, during an accident, after an accident, get oil workers killed, etc, so long as we get that oil.
The second anyone like swerve cries foul, and asks for doing business in a just, clean, regulated way, everyone starts screaming about the fact that he has a plastic lawnchair and drives a car?
All Swerve has been talking about is that business be done in as responsible of a way as possible. Is that asking for a lot? Is it asking a lot that we don't dump, pollute, kill unncessarily, and destroy to get some product? This is what he has been saying and I agree with him completely. Do you realize BP's safety record? their ignoring of the extremely loose regulations that there are?
We as the public need to always be aware of corporate power and corporate influence because their concern is nothing but MONEY. Money has no regard for human life, for employees, for the environment, for nothing except profit.
It is shocking to me how what swerve speaks of protects people like YOU, but you tend to take the corporate side. Oil companies lobby, they buy deregulation, they save a few more pennies, a preventable accident happens, and millions of gallons of oil wind up in the fish you eat, in the water you drink and on the beaches you visit and you say it is OK, because we use plastic materials or put gas in our car.
