So we're supposed to feel sorry for....

Corporations who are "un necessarily burdened" by regualtion and taxes.

Looks like BP hasnt been keeping up its own infrastructure while the oil industry has been swimming in cash for the last 2 yrs.

Forgive me if I dont see the heads of these oil companies as anything more than fat cats who exploit every opportunity to ingratiate themselves while ignoring their basic duties to their customers.

If ever we had a need for a coordinated development of alternative fuel sources, now is the time. What I wonder, why did it take so long for these cutting edge capitalists and their right wing political advocates to catch on?

Sometimes, "conservatism" had got to be just plain embarrasing
