re: #378 BrainSurfer

That’s like saying the space shuttle Challenger blew up so we should stop all attempts to go into space. Sorry don’t buy that. American oil companies are demonized for being oil companies - they produce oil which, by definition from a Left perspective, is bad (causing global warming) - yet these companies provide one heck of a lot of jobs, have stock which is owned in some form or another by probably a majority of Americans (e.g. pension funds), and provide the energy which powers America today.

And yet, Obama says we need to support American companies. Which is true - if these American companies are “green” and owned by his supporters, or, maybe, simply owned by his supporters.

Its not just the disaster it was the way that the oil companies seemed to be tripping over themselves to prove their incompitence, like how many companies had the same five years dead guy on their list of experts to call in case of a disaster.

By the way you go too far in demonizing all leftists as opposing oil companies. How would you feel if I said “All conservatives hate colleges because they pick apart the simple biblical world view many conservatives depend upon in order to get people to vote for them”?

Either way we’ve sort of wandered away from the issue at hand here (abortion and who pays for it), haven’t we?
