Exxon Valdez,
The 1989 environmental disaster that plagued the pristine wilderness of Alaska,
Is back in court, Exxon faces punitive damages in excess 2.5 billion dollars,
“That’s not fair” the CEO for Exxon hollers.
Exxon has paid more 3.2 billion for the clean-up in Prince William Sound,
Should Exxon be penalized more?
Is only 1/14 the profits made Exxon is 2006,32.5 Billion dollars to much,
We as Americans should holler, is Cheney still at Halliburton?
The profits are obscene, close to dealings with the devil, and such.
I viewed a documentary on ENRON with my wife last night,
It was no surprise that Cheney and Bush’s got along well,
with the unscrupulous chairman, Ken Lay, of ENRON.
'Exxon Mobil, the sole operator, is planning to shoot some three-dimensional seismic logs on the field, which has never been done and could reveal new reserves, ”
said Elizabeth Cheney, Exxon Mobil's operations superintendent for the field.
She’s a proud daughter of her daddy-O,
who’s vice-president of the USA, (see Observation ConocoPhilips)
Exxon, will the case thrown out, that is my prediction,
One of judges had recused himself, Judge Alito,
because he has stock in Exxon.
“What shall we do with drunken captain? ”
An Irish drinking son adaptation.
The old rule he who has the gold rules the world,
The new rule, he who controls energy moves the gold from the platform
to the petrol station.
The globe has been reduced to size of a chess board,
With individual countries being many a chess piece,
The political explanation will be twirled,
To satisfy the cogs of the wheel,
Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
