Asbestos
I do enjoy your take on the world - though I also find it scary as Hell!
One small correction. The Halliburton takeover of the beleaguered asbestos company (if it's the UK one I'm thinking of) will not kill Halliburton. In fact, the UK company has been landed with a massive damages bill for causing asbestosis in workers over a prolonged period. They've been putting off payment for years now as, one by one, the claimants die of their symptoms. Halliburton have bought the company to asset-strip it, then close it down as bankrupt, thereby wriggling out of making any damages payments at all.
Business ethics and morals are as common in this world as the tree-climbing lettuce.
