StevenSeagal Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 More Entitlements! Exxon maintains that punitive damages would be excessive punishment beside the $3.5 billion in cleanup costs, compensatory payments and fines it already has paid. As for the environmental effects of the spill, the claim about severe, continuing damage to the sound “is simply untrue,” according to the Texas company, which earlier this month posted the largest annual profit by a U.S. company — $40.6 billion. Gosh, if they had to fork over 2.5 Billion of that money to these lazy ingrates, they just might have to close up business for good! How do they even stay in business as it is, I wonder? “The environment in Prince William Sound is healthy, robust and thriving,” Exxon spokesman Tony Cudmore said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “That’s the conclusion of many scientists who have done extensive studies of the Prince William Sound ecosystem.” Indeed, no doubt Exxon put their best men on the trail, and spared no expense to obtain these important and accurate findings! Just like global warming...I mean, when you fly over southeast Alaska, there's ice all over the place down there! It can't be that warm, now, could it?!? Steve Picou, a sociologist with the University of South Alabama who has been researching the effects of the spill on Cordova residents, said that initially, reports of stress and depression were directly linked to the loss of jobs for fishermen and the damage to the environment so crucial to Alaska Natives who hunt and fish for their food. Well, gosh, maybe if those darned natives would just buy their fish at Skippers like normal people, they wouldn't have this problem! “A whole lifestyle has gone,” said restaurant owner Libbie Graham. “Life was great. I mean, you worked hard but you were rewarded for it.” Classic socialist mentality. A responsible, resourceful person would just move somewhere else and not live in the stupid wilderness! The spill soiled 1,200 miles of shoreline and killed hundreds of thousands of birds and other marine animals, inflicting environmental injuries that have not fully recovered, according to numerous scientific studies. Exxon contends it should not be liable for the actions of the Exxon Valdez skipper, Joseph Hazelwood, when the supertanker ran aground on March 24, 1989, with 53 millions gallons of oil in its hold. Well, we all know where the responsibility lies- it's those damn birds! Prosecutors said Hazelwood was drunk, but he denied it and was acquitted of the charge in criminal court. The prosecutor in this case was obviously an anti-business libtard. So who do you believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
