polluter doesn't pay, apparently

Exxon, it seems has managed not to be paying anythign for the environmental and associated damaged from the Valdez disaster. The reason this is important is that we really do need to be seeing the principle of polluter pays being worked into the corporate psyche and thus into the everyday economic decisions which will then drive the reneable, recyclable and ecological decisions that will embed environmentally sound processes and products into our personal and social living.
