Well, they keep appealing the case and the people of Alaska (and America) keep getting screwed. Exxon has won again in the case of the biggest oil spill that ever occurred. The justice system has ruled that Exxon should only be responsible for $500 million in damages paid to the people and wildlife of Alaska instead of the $2.5 billion that was decided on four years ago in another court case.

Here is my issue with this cut in the damages. People such as fisherman and crabbers that deped on the area, were economically devastated. Seabirds and marine life were lost. And now the amount that Exxon has had to pay has been cut from an original $5 billion to a meager $500 million. Give me a break America. WAKE UP! This is a disgrace in our justice system.

Politically it is a disgrace as well. Our politicians continue to bring these bunch of oil execs to Capital Hill and put them up for questioning where they continue to lie about the fact that they are not ripping the American people a new butthole. They keep talking about how that the RECORD PROFITS they keep posting are contributed to the law of supply and demand. Then our justice system gives them more money because poor little Exxon has already spent $3.4 billion in clean up costs, fees, penalties, etc. Big freakin’ deal. Tell that to the thousands of animals killed and I am sure they feel they were worth more than $500 million.
