When people commit crimes they go to jail or sometimes are even executed. How do you do that to a corporation?

You almost made me spill my coffee. That's the dumbest line I've heard in long time. Corporations are people, my friend LOL. Its frightening how out of touch these people are. They remind me of myself when I was in college.I wonder how much they actually believe the nonsense they spout. Well at least Obama gets a killer line with which to attack Romney.

Gas Drilling Bringing Jobs to Pennsylvania, but How Many? By KRIS MAHER At a time when creating jobs is one of the nation's top priorities, most tallies agree that the recent boom in gas drilling has put more people to work in Pennsylvania. But just how many new jobs the surge has generated in the state is open to debate. Most of Pennsylvania's natural gas is trapped inside the Marcellus Shale, an underground formation that also runs through parts of Ohio, West Virginia and New York. Finding and bringing this gas to the surface has become the state's fastest-growing industry—and its most controversial one. That's because producing the gas requires hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a process in which water and chemicals are injected underground to fracture rock and release the gas. Environmentalists have opposed the practice, saying it risks contaminating groundwater and wells. All sides agree that natural-gas development in the state has produced new jobs for laborers at well sites, truck drivers to haul equipment and waste water, and even engineers and accountants. But there is less agreement about how to count and just who to count when it comes to Marcellus-related job creation, so estimates vary widely. read more................ online.wsj.com
