"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."

Is Texaco the only guilty oil company?
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder what else is going on.
Looks like Chevron and Exxon are bad too.

Search for Chevron.
But I've heard that Chevron built an oil field in Indonesia that was actually very environmentally friendly. I think they built it at a time of high consumer awareness.
