Then you should go.
I find it ridiculous or even outrageous that you worship a dictator. You lived in a dictatorship so you must know what it is like.
Seventeen years after the Exxon Valdez spill dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound, Alaska, Exxon Mobil has yet to pay $4.5 billion in punitive damages ordered by a court.
A federal court ordered Exxon Mobil Corp. to pay $4.5 billion to Alaskan fishing communities affected by the 1989 spill. But Exxon continues to fight the order, claiming the $3.5 billion paid in initial cleanup efforts and compensation is sufficient.
Alaskans say the devastation continues. Herring and salmon remain scarce, and people have lost their livelihoods. Fishing communities remain devastated.
"You'll find evidence of crude oil still seeping below the surface," says Betsy Goll, the Alaskan representative for the Sierra Club. "The fishery haven't fully recovered as well as some of the marine life in the area."
An Exxon representative told ABC News that the company can't afford to pay the settlement. This from the company that made $8.4 billion in profits last quarter.

Today I was thinking about rubbish newspapers and why so many (=all, at lleast where I live) of them promote right-wing ideas. Does right always go hand in hand with tackiness, bad taste, lies and bad journalism?
The Wall Street Journal is about as good as it gets, and it's right-wing, at least as Americans understand the term. Same for The Economist in the UK.
I was thinking more about the Daily Mail type of paper... All tabloids I've ever read promote fascism
the popular press promotes their popular ideas, they aint gonna promote anything that is not in their own interest, which usually means their owners interest! So you will never get anything that promotes anti-capatalistism in the "real" or tabloid papers!
Get hold of "Socialist Worker" if you want to read something alternative!

Of course, "Socialist Worker" would only print things in their interest, and their owners' interest as well. I would suggest you read everything, always considering the context and the source.
yeah, but no only russian democracy is crappy, i quite found the representative democracy as the "state of the art" politic way a sad illusion
That's how I basically read this post and why I will probably send a check for another thousand or two on the next dip.
