What the title say. There is a big problem regarding the perception of companies and the effects of their especially with how many politicans with money invested into the big companies trying to discredit the research regarding the damage we are doing to our enviroment (a kind of thinking that carried onto alot of right winge voters and conservatives. Extremely evident in the state willfull ignorance and cherry picking when it comes to science.).  But more concerning, is the way oil companies, with British Petroleum as fantastic example of how terrible the consequences of their actions. The giant oil spill outside the Gulf of Mexico was a environmental disaster. Well the very same company have screwed up again, this time on American with a oil lake into lake Michigan. That is a freshwater source for many of the people living in the area and the damage on the lakes ecosystem is likely to be substantial.

The question I want to pose: Just how far are we gonna let these corporations go? BP did loose a lot on their previous oil spill, something I feel is only right. But the fact is that companies get away with a lot more then they should, and the general lobby against environmentalist politics push for deregulation constantly.
