You would think that with their $7B a quarter in profits they could afford to maintain their f#*king pipelines. Instead, they just keep pumping oil through them when they know that they are corroded to ***** until a huge spill occurs that wipes out a species or three.
This is a prime example of why corporations need to be watched like a hawk when they control your economy. They would bury radioactive waste 6 inches deep in a playground if they could get away w/ it. Or sell the national parks to the Japanese. (Univeral/MCA in the early '90s until it was discovered). And no, I am not commie. They're just as bad if not worse. But anyone who thinks that large multi-national corporations that are loyal to no one can be trusted is a major fool or a fellow crook.
