If Greenpeace goes bust, where will Senator Kennedy get his escort when he goes for a swim?

My thinking is the judges there are so anti-business, they have no chance of winning.

The company said it wanted compensation after 600 campaigners shut down all its 28 Esso petrol stations in the country for 14 hours last October, accusing Exxon of lobbying Washington to pullout of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. I wish someone would explain to Reuters that President Clinton's signature on Kyoto was in no way ratification of that treaty, therefore there is no agreement for the United States to pull out of.

Good for Exxon. They should sue and they should win. What Greenpeace did was illegal and it damaged Exxon. There is no reason in the world why Greenpeace shouldn't pay compensation.

"Esso is simply trying to squash all opposition by dragging anyone who dares to protest against its behaviour through the courts," said Pascal Husting, executive director of Greenpeace Luxembourg.No, Pascal. Esso is just exercising their right to protest the behavior of some malcontents.
To: nypokerface
Most excellent news. Greenpeace must take financial responsibility for it's actions as they were illegal.

I want to see a judgement similar to attacks on big tobacco. Maybe $7 TRILLION dollars to be paid by Greenpeace.

I dont understand?...
If I Owned a pumping station, I would simply cut the chains immediatley, and forcibly eject them from the premises...follow on with a complaint to police to arrest them for trespassing if they entered the premise again...
Was Exxon originally guilty of apeasment?
To: Mark
I would love to see the courts take some of the $green$ out of Greenpeace.

SUE EM INTO BANKRUPTCY!!

While not generally in support of lawsuits for every situation, I have to admit I love it when the tables get turned on these liberals and their causes. It is high time THEY are put on the defensive.

That's a good question.. Does he have an amphibious limo by chance?

No kidding, talk about the mother of all PR stunts..
Clinton signs, then doesn't submit for ratification because he knows it would be laughed out of congress and the public would hang him for it.. But he still get's full credit from the greenies somehow?
Why aren't they calling him "coward" and spitting on him for this half hearted, public ditching of Koyoto?

Good for Exxon. They should sue and they should win. Agreed, and even if Exxon doesn't win its stand will at least give other companies courage to take a stand. Fair warning, Greenpeace, this suit by Exxon is the thin edge of the wedge.

Maybe that someone should be FOX. On news program after news program, they should point out how Reuters got it wrong, again, and make the above correction. I believe that FOX, as a fair and balanced news outlet, is obligated to shed much light on how the mainstream media lies and acts as socialist activists.

Give each a $1.00 squirt and pull out a Zippo...they'ed unlock themselves pretty quick.
