i made another thread about the reality of capitalism that is revealed through this ace.
the point is not a simple-minded one. your response to it shows that almost any statement can be met with a simple-minded response though.
this is not about accidents. it's about the intertwining of political and corporate power. over the past few days what's been happening with bp, particularly over the past few days as its shares tanked and its commercial paper acquired a junk bond status (for example) is starting to acquire the outline of a political fight that will initially pit the uk against the us in part because bp's brand triage unit has managed to spin bp's situation in the states as a function of either anti-uk sentiment or electorcal politics in the us (take your pick)....so bp is a victim now.
boo hoo.
but the questions start to get complicated from this point. it's all in the other thread.

ace, i really couldn't care less whether you pretend to be president and make up stuff you'd do or not. nor do i care about the bug under your bonnet about the obama administration.
it'd be nice if sometime you could come up with something substantial.
so far, you have mostly smoke.
