If I had gone to work for any oil company and as a "white collar" planner, let's say, and I recomended they spend money for more safety. I would be out the door so fast you could not see it. In order for our country and people to do sophistcated planning for our country, first we must know the reality of the problems which includes the reality of the corproate world. Especially banking, equities and oil companies. So much of the corporate world, is so corrupt, it only pales in comparison to really corrupt places like Afghanistan and say, Russia. I found it hard to work in corporate America becaus they always wanted me to do unethical things. At least when I worked for th state or taught school I could do my work honorably. E.G., stock rokers want your to hawk bad stock, The Coldwell Banker training tapes for realtors tells the new agent in no uncertain terms how to "make a sale" by manipulating the client in ways not good for them e.g. they tell agents to not let them think about a deal overnight. Get them signed up. That is something I would never, nor could ever, do. This is why the government needs to take back control form the corporatists as Naomi Like likes to call them. I think only the liberals really understand the evil in corporate America. And the oikl industry is the worst fo the worst ecasue of the southern bigoted, low educated, white collars. Our oil industry is centered in Texas, Oklahoma and LA. All three states elect morons and their cultrues are not "refined"-lol. E.g. Perry, Inhoff, Cornyn and that lying bitch Hutchison. those are soem vile and stupid peopel and they refect the oil industry.
