I urge caution on broad generalities about government.

"We had been told, on leaving our native soil, that we were going to defend the sacred rights conferred on us by so many of our citizens [and to aid] populations in need of our assistance and our civilization." For such a cause, he and his comrades had willingly offered to "shed our quota of blood, to sacrifice our youth and our hopes."

"Make haste to reassure us that you at home support and love us as we obey and love you, for if we find that you have sent us to leave our bleached bones in these desert sands for nothing, beware the fury of the legions."
-- Marcus Flavius, a Roman centurion of the 4th Century

You sure picked a piss poor example of the plight of corporations with BP and the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico.

As the facts have borne out, that incident was the result of one of the most egregious examples of corporate recklessness in history.

And poor BP was made to suffer some serious scolding....

Give me a break.
