Supreme Court encouraging safety shortcuts

Hooray! Best democracy in the world! So the lesson learned is that Big Oil knows they pretty much own the government and can do as they damn well please. Safety? Screw you. Fines? Not on your life. It's not just in distant lands where anything goes, it's right there at home. Nobody is arguing against business, but is it really so hard to find a middle ground between what business wants and what humans wants? As the GOP does the dirty work for Big Oil and their dreams of drilling in ANWR and off the Florida coast, keep in mind how much money industry is investing in legal battles to make it easier for them to ditch safety regulations.
