Good old boy ethics .... or how big energy runs our country.
Edited on Fri Feb-03-06 01:02 AM by Botany
Pull back the curtain and look @ the powers that be ..... In this case the Williams Company.

http://www.williams.com/ Home page for the Williams Companies, inc

The Williams Companies, Inc. NYSE: WMB is a Fortune 500 oil & gas pipelines company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
It was founded as Williams Brothers in 1908 by Miller and David Williams in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and soon expanded to building nationwide pipelines for natural gas and petroleum. The company relocated to Tulsa in 1919.
The company went public in 1957 under the Williams Brothers name. As it diversified in the 1970s, it was renamed The Williams Companies, Inc. Since 1997, their brand identity has been simplified to "Williams". (from Wikipedia)

http://www.williams.com/about/corevalues.asp their "rock solid" ethics

"For nearly a century, Williams has been a leader in the energy industry. What has sustained our longevity and recognized leadership qualities is a dedication to a set of Core Values & Beliefs. This simple list has been a guidepost for our people throughout the decades at Williams. It fuels our creativity and helps give direction in our business decisions."

<Integrity
Integrity must not be compromised.>


opps those core values tend to slide .....



So will they go down with DeLay?

The cancer that money and power has infected our country must be exposed and cut out.
BTW I have my own little business ....... and I am very much a capitalist.

Core Values .... my ass

1. unfortunately, it's not just big energy that runs our country . . .
it's also big pharmaceuticals . . . and big insurance companies . . . and big defense contractors . . . in short, big corporations . . . and nobody's bothering to regulate them anymore . . . and unregulated capitalism is a recipe for disaster . . .

and when corporations and government become one, it's called fascism . . .
