I know- incredible as it sounds- an American corporation CAN destroy the environment and people's lives- and just flat get away with it.
The "highest" of America's courts (remember- NONE of these people have to take drug tests) is soon to decide if this oil company has to pay ANY "punitive" damages for their 1989 fustercluck in Alaska's Valdez Bay- according to this AP story.
What "punitive" award the courts have allowed to stand is being appealed (also note- during an election year) by these gougers- Exxon-Mobil.
I hear what you're thinking- IF such a "punitive" award stands- all E-M has to do is jack us at the gas pump- some more....
