ace, given that in the relatively limited frame of a thread about what is still perhaps the largest industrial accident ever at least in terms of petroleum spilled into water and potential for ecological damage, and given that among the things today has brought to the surface of public attention is that the famous blowout preventer had hydraulic system problems and a dead fucking battery reported in the days just prior to the explosion and nothing was done about it...one result of which was that the preventer didn't..um...prevent, it seems to me that there's ample stuff to think about here, stuff that's more interesting in general and in particular than the difficulty you seem to have formulating a logical question about marxism.
it was a passing remark, a comment on the incestuousness of the relation between "Regulator" and corporate interest in this area which is now so obvious that even the ny times, which in general has never seen a status quo it didn't support, has taken note.
if it causes less static for you to overlook it in your struggle to remain on topic, overlook it. you have my blessing.
