Profit rules again. Let them eat profiteroles !

A 30 minute run this morning, and a good interview with a German climate scientist in Der Spiegel . He makes the point that "We only protect ourselves against hazards to the extent that it's economically feasible at a given time, and to the extent to which they can be controlled within the normal operations of a company". In the aftermath of the Japanese disaster and Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill, and as the British government in London invite BP to drill in even more difficult conditions off Shetland, it's a point that should be tatooed on the forehead of every politician.
