Soros was convicted of insider trading by a French court. Does that concern you, lefty?

Sorry, Ted. I've not been sucked in by the liberal environmentalist bullshit philosophy. I simply don't care. I grew up in a town now owned by Koch Bros. It was filthy nasty then, and it is one hell of a lot cleaner today as a result of mountains of money they have spent to clean it up. Before Koch bought it, I can remember driving down the highway with the cloud of noxious fumes of formaldehyde so strong I almost suffocated before I could get out of it. You don't find that anymore. Oil spills happen. It doesn't bother me because they don't amount to shit (as is evidenced by the Gulf Spill, which after months of media attention, didn't hurt a flea -- only the Obama government's reaction to it was damaging). Industrial accidents happen. There is nothing you can do about it. If there is wrongdoing, the perpetrators face both civil and criminal legal action. That's enough for me. I think it is pathetic that the Left has to have this array of bogey-men to harp about. You people need to get yourselves a life.

When I was 18, I was out on my former bosses "ranch", actually a small place outside town to keep his horses and a few cows. I was digging a water line from the well to a small tank. It was rocky so I had to use a pickaxe and s then shovel out the rock and dirt. Well, I hit a six inch oil line that crossed his property that he, nor I was aware of. It was not under a lot of pressure, but before they could get the line shut down upstream, you cannot imagine how much oil came out of that line. Moral of the story is that no matter what happens, oil spills WILL happen. Someone's fault or no one's fault, it happens. The oil company was fined for not having the line deeper. I suspect that when the line was put in it WAS deeper. SPILLS HAPPEN. 400 million in four years is appropriate to fine KOCH, but do you really think that would keep them from doing business? LOL!!! Petty cash. How about you talk about Obama's friends like Ayers? Or GE....What sort of filth is GE spewing into the air?
