POPSMore Dirty Deeds or Life Is Cheap As the #1 consumers of petroleum on the planet, we kinda owe it to our fellow beings to give these oil companies a conscience and force them to act in accordance with it. And, by the way, Chevron is not the only miscreant. All those Big Boys are dirty.

POPSUnusual Swimming Pools Comment for Baghdad Pool: "...I do worry about where that soldier is pointing his gun."
