    Except the perchlorates are continually produced, and life likely doesn't exist ON the surface, but only UNDER it, probably fairly deep. Sort of like the opposite of our problem with oil.

    Yes, because we have to go to Ganymede first, because of something that will happen in billions of years.

    I expect that in billions of years, things that might be descended from us will be colliding stars with each other for fuel or the human race will be long extinct, along with anything we ever built. Avoiding being consumed by an expanding Sol will not be a problem either way.

    Remember, kids, corporations couldn't do this without government intervention. If that company had been a partnership, the owners never could have escaped the liability, and knowing that, would have been more cautious, refraining from polluting when they could, and carrying insurance for when they couldn't. The rates would go up if the insurance company determined that said company was polluting, something which would put them out of business if they did it too much.

    But hey, let's have fascist solutions for fascist problems instead.

    One would think they would just have a water supply filled with perchlorate eating bacteria for that purpose. The water could easily be recycled. Hell, the suits could easily be designed such that the outside of the suit never touches the inside of the base.

    Yes, War. The executive branch has declared war on the American people. The judicial branch has sided with them, and they have pre-emptively attacked the legislative branch.

    FYI, support of treason is also treason. The usurpation of legislative authority by the judicial branch at the behest of the executive branch is the DEFINITION of treason, and all involved should be removed from office if not HUNG for their crimes against this country.

    The individual, via insurance premiums.

    I don't think you get the point. With that kind of liability, no company (remember, corporations don't exist any more because governments have stopped interfering in markets) would EVER take that kind of risk. And besides, such a company will have general liability insurance as a first resort. Bad behavior is moderated by rising premiums as well as general risk aversion. There are lots of rich people around, but you don't have much in the way of rich individuals causing major chemical explosions, because they take action to prevent such things from happening.

    That's the point. They are both evil. Bush should have been impeached and hung from the neck until dead for his crimes against humanity and the American people. The same goes for Obama.

    Of course, that won't happen. At best, Obama gets impeached and Biden takes his place and does the same thing. At bester, Biden is also impeached, but even then Boner gets in and, again, does the same thing. It's not until we hit the 13th in line for succession that we reach someone who isn't an (R) or a (D), and even then, they are likely corrupted, since Mr. Shinseki is a member of the current administration.

    Wrong again, child. Libertarians in general don't believe in government interference in the marketplace. The corporate veil (the legal fiction that the corporation is not just a bunch of people acting together) is government interference. Without the corporate veil, corporations are just companies with a lot of owners. Owners whose assets can be seized to pay for the damages caused by the sociopathic policies of said corporations.

    You have confused libertarianism with fascism. Like the diver who confuses up with down, it will lead to your doom.
