Today on CNN and Rachel Maddow I heard about some American heroes. Not soldiers or policemen(though they are), but rather scientists. The oil and marine scientists of the Gulf Coast. In Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi scientists are refusing to play BP's game. They are fighting the good fight against the spreading cancer of Corporatism.
here is the TPM piece about what's going on.

BP is trying to buy scientist's silence on important scientific issues. They think they can weasel their way out of a huge lawsuit by limiting the government's access to competent independent scientists who can research and publish what environmental catastrophes have taken place.
Some scientists have already been bought out but others are refusing and they are truly heroes.
We need to make a ruckus because acedemic integrity is key in the fight against corporatism. The facts are the facts until someone buys them.
