With Shell admitting to "inadvertently" fueling corruption in Nigeria and the well know misdemeanours of Exxon, perhaps the frequently made accusation the oil companies are a law to themselves is starting to hold water?

I vote that they are no worse (or better) than any other corp but my vote doesn't count because I can't log in.
