2. I can say from vast personal experience of have fought BP since they blew up

their Texas City, Texas plant on March 23rd 2005, killing 15 and injuring thousands (not less than 200 as the media reports to this day, BP under reports everything), and now the Gulf oil spill, killing 11 plus one, our Gulf of Mexico, that they will stop at nothing for $. Remember when Iran took our hostages in 1979 and we wondered why they hated us so much? Our media called them all, the whole country religious fanatics. BP did not like it that their prime minister and Parlament wanted to nationalize their own oil. BP got Britain to ask the US to help b/c we wanted the oil to continue to be virtually free (I suspect we paid in beads). The CIA brags that this was their 1st overthrow of a government. They had the Prime Minister hanged for treason. Eliminated the democratically elected government and installed the Shah of Iran, one of the most brutal dictators of all time. No wonder they hated us! F*ck BP!!!!
