THE DISGRACE STILL LINGERS UPON ME

And another red state just became uninhabitable; by the end of 2015, this is how it will all look.
We are killing people for foreign oil, yet when it's semi-domestic, or domestic, period - we are killing ourselves! Where does it end, people? Let me know.
Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.
Look on the bright side. Theyve given the state permanent jobs in the oil spill cleanup business.
THE DISGRACE STILL LINGERS UPON ME
They will never complete it - and they're jobs will not be permanent. I am not stupid and am quite aware to how much it sucks to live in a red state, where deregulation and corporatist dominance, as well as hard-earned taxpayer money being wasted on non-productive hands to said scum run rampant can ruin everything!
Those people need to be out there fighting against this and this pipeline getting made after what happened here, as far as I'm concerned, because this ain't no goddamn joke to me.
I wouldn't be surprised If this ever happened in South Carolina (and I need to leave this state before it does, knowing how messed, crappy, and willing the leadership HERE would be to claim "it will bring back "er jerbs!"", aka the ones you sent or cut away for filling your own fat bellies, you pigstains!!).

A 1980 law ensures that diluted bitumen is not classified as oil, and companies transporting it in pipelines do not have to pay into the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Other conventional crude producers pay 8 cents a barrel to ensure the fund has resources to help clean up some of the 54,000 barrels of pipeline oil that spilled 364 times last year.

Fucking Exxon.

Well, it's nice to see that the corruption is evenly-distributed among oil companies like Marmite on toast, instead of just all concentrated in BP like a festering boil of corporate evil. :)

Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.
whats funnier. apparently Exxon just got a safety award.
Why is no one up in arms about the blatant disregard for the first amendment Exxon is showing here?

because their blatant disregard has blocked the media from even reporting on it?
Because the first amendment only applies to the government. Exxon isn't a government, so it can't violate the first amendment. It's a giant dick move, but it isn't unconstitutional. It's probably some other kind of illegal though.
I'd say they're infringing on the freedom of the press by not letting them on the premises, declaring the area a no fly zone, and basically not talking to them. That sounds like a first amendment violation.
The First Amendment basically just says that the government (all levels) cannot impose such restrictions. As such, a non-governmental entity is not bound by that limitation. However, they're probably flaunting several other laws.

Double post because we've got ANOTHER leak.
Ten bucks says the republican dominated senate of the state of missouri tries to sweep this under the rug.
Apparently there's an oil spill in Canada we haven't heard about.
so add it to the two in the US the media isnt allowed to report on?

Like the American media cares about what happens in Canada.

I dunno, y'all thought it pretty fascinating when the mayor of our largest city turned out to be a crackhead. Then again, who wouldn't?
Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.
Well they can't find the video so maybe he's not. Then again I don't see how it is relevant to his existing idiocy.

That pipeline rupture is about 10 miles or so from our house, as the crow flies.
