Especially because when a corporation like BP "pays" for something, that usually gets passed to the American consumers who buy gas to drive to work and school (and showers and weddings and plays!) But I suppose the alternative is for us all to pay it out of our taxes, which I'd be more opposed to (if it'Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307119158765850624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30542903.post-44803482015513867862010-05-04T14:53:29.211-04:002010-05-04T14:53:29.211-04:00Suzanne, we always think alike.Suzanne, we always think alike.Rosemary https://www.blogger.com/profile/16692521812525901895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30542903.post-48595233147381452002010-05-04T14:51:49.233-04:002010-05-04T14:51:49.233-04:00Kate, thank you for commenting.

I read the entire article and all the comments, some of which were very interesting...particularly those from people with technical knowledge of how these systems work. I still think "boot to the throat" is entirely unnecessary and inflammatory language.
