    Lisa, how do ordinary citizens go about initiating an impeachment effort? Who do they need to contact? Here is an example of multinational Corporate Power superceding our National Sovereignty. It used to be called Fascism before the Right Wing got hold of the term. I don't understand why the Right Wing rank and file aren't upset by it?

    I'm surprised no one has caught this! You state that "imperial gallons...are two-tenths less than an American gallon". Remember the formula from school? Two pints equal one quart and four quarts equal a gallon. The Imperial pint is 20 ounces, therefore an Imperial gallon is 160 ounces. The US pint is 16 ounces, therfore the US gallon is 128 ounces. So your Imperial pint glass holds 25% more beer or ale with a "full measure". Cheers, mates!

    I realize that profits for the shareholders is the main concern of the Big Oil guys, but it would be very wise of them to conceive a plan for quick clean up versus media spin. I think in the long run it would be cheaper. i would venture to guess that if a company had an accident and did the right thing to get clean up started, their stock may just go up instead of dive like BP's.

    Ms. Graves, Perhaps your concern for "working people" should extend to the thousands of oil indistry workers unable to work as a result of the moratorium and the untold damage to the gulf states as a result. Thank you to Judge Feldman for balancing the potential risks of deepwater drilling against the immediate damage of the moratorium and requiring the federal government to provide a raionale for its actions. He has taken a stand for working people in the gulf. CPP

    Prof Nutt used a lecture at King's College, London, to attack what he called the "artificial" separation of alcohol and tobacco from illegal drugs.
