Please take the time to read the article on The Supreme Court's decision to help Exxon during these tough times of record oil profits. If this judgment does not exemplify how damage our court system is, than I am not sure people are getting the point.
One last point about the article. When we fail to understand the problems of a geographic region in global terms, we risk isolating ourselves. We would expect the same respect for our state that Alaska's citizens expect for theirs. Think about it.
