Book Review: Private Empire - Exxon Mobil And American Power [View article]
This book review did capture some of the material in the book...just sort of fails to mention that the author was getting a lot of his material from litigation records since XOM is such a secretive "cult like" entity & that it is very hard to get clear information from it's executives. XOM is not "good" or "bad" as an entity...it is a survivor. XOM does work hard to keep climate change science from becoming accepted fact...why wld they not? As a species we will destroy our environment....just the way we always have..but before we could just move on to other lands...now we are stuck with no place else to go. But why worry...we are not here for a long time...we are here for a good time.

I too have been long PM (& nowMO) since mid 90's...was in it for the dividends.....i have no problem profiting from people's addictions & stupidity
