> I must say that I find the basis of your "analysis" -- predators/prey
Considering your own position, I'm not surprised of your defensiveness. For the record, it's not me who invented the P/P "analysis" -- I mentioned the book earlier and it is based on the economist Thorstein Veblen (who called the Predators "the leisure class"). > incredibly shallow and leading to bizarre statements on your part such as > the one below... Apt self-description... > Bill Gates and the other rich folks can hardly be held personally > responsible Not in the legal sense (I didn't claim that!), but they can't claim to care for the environment when they don't even bother to buy adequate safety regulations in Congress (or rather, prevent their abolition!), nor achieve the funding (not necessarily by themselves -- as large stock-holders, they can apply pressure) of safety measures. A "one dollar one vote" system brings a certain responsibility with it, especially after Soros & Co. built up a nobody to become US president who happened to let these regulations become or remain relaxed. > or whoever's greed driven lack of effective risk management in drilling... And who "ever" is "greed driven"? Perhaps the investors who push the workers to maximize profits and therefore insist on drilling in risky places and "saving" on safety measures? > the folks who uphold a greed driven economic structure no question In a word: Predators. > but Bill Gates or Warren Buffet personally hmmm... I never said they're the only ones. And don't get me started with "they're just following the invisible hand" BS. They're more than rich enough already and old enough to retire instead of continuing to rip off the world.
