   Great…another “crisis” that will allow the administration to screw over the poor and middle class. Raising taxes on oil does NOT punish BP, it only punishes the consumer.

   Have you ever seen a news story about actual corporate self regulation? Probably not, because it is not sexy, or not a crisis.

   My guess is that the photo is from the Exxon Valdez

   How could you do a news story about corporate self-regulation? No company would let you look at what they do — in part because it would be by definition an expose (and in part because they’re just secretive and afraid of getting caught). Now, since I’m in enforcement, I do get to see the crappy results of corporate self-regulation and it’s a joke. Every company has zero tolerance policies on the books…and then they promptly do whatever they can get away with to make as much money as they can and then pull a Toyota defensive move to hide from damages after the fact. But, you know, you can keep bending over for the corporate boys if you like it that way. Maybe when *you* tell yourself it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t.

   Also, are you pretending the Gulf spill didn’t happen? There’s plenty of oily bird pictures; you don’t have to dig up the Valdez fiasco to find one. Seriously, are you a Gulf-spill denier?
