Comments on: If You Lay Down With Dogs… https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/07/25/if-you-lay-down-with-dogs/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:00:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/07/25/if-you-lay-down-with-dogs/comment-page-1/#comment-52967 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:00:10 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=15757#comment-52967 In reply to Steve Bates.

The same people who elect people because they specifically promise to keep “the government out of business”, want the government to cover their losses when business screws them over.

Most of the coastal states have enacted tort reforms that make it extremely difficult to recover losses from business, and people are now starting to understand what that really means – they made themselves victims with minimal recourse.

At the appropriate time BP will file for chapter 11 and protect themselves from the claims – they are scorpions, it’s what they do.

Hell, we are de facto governed by those corporations! I stand in amazement at all the people who scream that they do not trust their government who are nonetheless willing to trust BP and the rest of the oil industry, Big Pharma, Big Ag (including Monsanto), etc. Like so many people these days, they want to have it both ways.

Trusting big institutions is a risky business. Trusting corp’s is trusting the one kind of institution that has a fiduciary responsibility NOT to act in the public intererst. “Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb like the sun, it shines every where.”
