Bull****, the tort lawyers are a lot more of a threat than the
government but the real control is the customer.
One story on CNN about contaminated food costs more money in lost
sales for a company than some little fine that the government might
throw at them. The fine is deductible anyway.
Right, the real control is the consumer, because the consumer could
force the oil companies to clean up their messes.
