Hey Tony, Here’s What You Can Do With Your Sunflower!

my thoughts….on global corporations in the broadest sense of the word.. a new era is unfolding where corporations will become the powers that be in an increasingly public way. they will have faces, fight more openly their competitors, refuse the law…control the media coverage when something goes wrong…this will be a tiny drop in the bucket for BP if they get their way. we are angry but what can we do? complain to our local government representatives? there is no doubt that thousands of livelihoods will be damaged due to BP’s lack of concern in safety precautions..but who do we point the finger at…so many parties involved

No doubt the perp of the logo defacement will be in prison a long time before BP execs are even arraigned.

jeez, god forbid I should free-associate from the term “mud-slinging”!

I thought that it was pretty self-evident that we have both a major disaster and a gargantuan crook in the Gulf (two orders of magnitude more safety violations than any other company?!?) — was just trying to make clear that I wasn’t an apologist for them even if expressing a tinge of dismay over our tendency to go for symbolic violence.

both our increasing willingness to give powers and rights to corporations, and our complete failure of overseeing BP’s clean-up “efforts”, frustrate me into a near-continuous seethe.

now can we get back to analyzing pictures please?
