kennedy's publicity stunt has benefited scores of people who otherwise would freeze this winter (12 million gallons of home heating oil at a 40% discount). perhaps our friends at Exxon Mobile could engage in similar shameless activities. i wonder how much their souls are worth. some thoughtful observations nonetheless.
It IS a publicity stunt. There are already welfare programs to provide low- or no-cost heating oil to poor Americans. No one in America would go cold, even without the faux benevolence of Hugo Chavez.
And, contrary to your sophomoric worldview, ExxonMobil is not a dictatorship.
i never said ExxonMobil was a dictatorship, there are not enough welfare programs to cover the 27 million at risk residents, and i never said it wasn't a publicity stunt (though i would frame it more as a political act that benefits the poor). the number of deaths due to oil heating oil cut offs are too numerous to mention (google dr. meg power). toodles!
Great vlog yet again - I'm in the UK so try to keep abreast of US politics, and your political vids give me a big helping hand getting my head around the prominent figures over there. Your Berlin/etc vids were a nice break too - too much politics makes my, and I'm sure your, head hurt sometimes! Keep it up.
