Aquila has Missouri in a chokehold and easily demonstrates who has the real power

In Missouri, corporations own the the air you breathe . . . Kind of like a bad (ass) Schwarzenegger flick.

Recently, he Senate voted to bail out Aquila today in a 26-5 vote that gives retroactive approval for a power plant the company built in Cass county, despite court orders forbidding it to do so. Missouri State Senator from KC, Jolie Justus was one of the 5 NO votes.

On her blog, she offers the money quote that pretty much sums up the whole situation:

"I don't see any real punishment from the state for Aquila blatantly ignoring the law."

But breathe easy, when the time comes that you are a rich, white male and have a ton of government connections . . . You can break any law you please . . . In fact, you might even be able to write a few of your own.

Also, I feel sorry for anybody who actually believes that "This is a nation of laws" BS when referring to illegal immigrants who are mostly here to clean up dishes rather than pollute the enviornment while ignoring any kind of regulation or governing bodies.
