So, the Valdez accident, it was not intential, should preclude any future business?

And you know better than the justice system how much is enough?

If the Valdez was owned by BP, would you feel the same way?

Whatever happened to awarding jobs to American companies?

It was what they did afterwards that truly infuriated people, rightfully so.

I suggest you research it a bit before jumping to conclusions in favor of the oil company.

Exxon isn't the only American oil company.
