B-run, don't cha' know that in the USA the law only applies as written to the "little" guys who can't afford an entire law firm on staff. Occasionally, to make it appear as though the law is equally applied, one of America's elite blue bloods gets nailed, i.e., Skillings is gonna' be really, really old when he gets outa' jail. What should be the rule is unfortunately the exception.

Its Corporation Law. Complicated stuff. from what ive studied thats what runs this country. Corporation Law is a huge loophole for many crappy moves done over the past century

I fished Cook Inlet for 27 years. Tell my friend who broke his neck or the other one dying of cancer or the other 1000 who have died waiting for them to make it right that it's corporate law. It's corporate greed. They're already crying the victim and will probably try to appeal this one too.

This catastrophe brought to you by EXXON, proud sponsor of corporate greed and political puppets. :p

Ya all really want to make a difference, maybe? Stop buying Exxon products. The drop in sales of Citgo gas got the attention of Chavez. Maybe if enough like minded folks acted in unison Exxon too would get the message.
