[Vision2020] Does BP have to comply?

[Ralph Nielsen]

Your thoughts are well put, Sam. How do "we" do it, indeed?

I am amused--it's better to laugh than to cry--at the antics of  
people who have been totally against having the government do  
anything at all. Private enterprise can do everything better, they  
have been screaming.

So what do they yell for now that private enterprise has goofed? Let  
the government take care of it, let President Obama fix it!

But isn't this socialism? Horrors!

But never fear, BP will be taken to court and made to fix the mess.

The courts, including the Supreme Court of the US, have been loaded  
in recent years with staunch conservatives. Clarence Thomas was  
formerly a lawyer for Monsanto, John Roberts' entire career has been  
as a corporation lawyer. I am sure there are many others like them in  
lower courts, thanks to the wishes of conservatives all across the land.

Don't you think these conservative judges will find a way to favor  
the large corporations over the problems of ordinary Americans? I do.
