BP will emerge from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill crisis a smaller and wiser company, according to the man who is due to take over the reins. Bob Dudley, currently in charge of BP's clean-up operation, will replace Tony Hayward as chief executive in October. Mr Dudley described the oil spill as a terrible tragedy from which the company and the industry would learn a lot. Earlier, BP reported a record $17bn (£11bn) loss, having set aside $32bn to cover the costs of the spill.
The loss for the three months to June was the largest quarterly loss recorded by a British company. [BP] will be smaller and financially, it will grow," Mr Dudley told ABC's Good Morning America programme. "We are going to share our learnings from this, it's no doubt going to change the oil and gas industry all around the globe as a result of it."
Your learnings
Share them plz.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

It fucking makes me mad that people in that neck of the woods have had their livelihoods ruined whilst this twat who oversaw the incompetence and corner cutting that led to this gets a $600,000 pound pension a year!. :I-love-pork:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."
Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Sounds about right.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.
