Louisiana deep oil drilling disaster

Bernice Moore Wrote:The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on the Gulf.
"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"

This issue among many others gets into the issue of "corporate personhood" that enables a corporation to spend dollars putting forth a political POV (to say nothing of buying judges and legislators), and the not-yet-recognized corollary that if a corporation is a person, it ought to be able to be imprisoned and/or put to death as appropriate to the level of its criminality.

The earth is not dying, it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses. -Utah Phillips
