To hell with waiting. I already sent it.

Among other things mentioned, I noted the fact that a full page black and white ad in the Wall Street Journal costs nine times more than Exxon’s sponsorship of the student breakfast.

Can Exxon buy the acquiescence of the world’s largest geoscience organization so cheaply? And do so after many years of funding third-party attacks on the work, competence, and personal character of many AGU members?

Such actions should have consequences.

This year was my 25th as an AGU member.

Tomorrow I will send an email to the president that my continuing membership hinges on the AGU reversing its stand on this issue.

“Money talks, bullshit wa”fts from the mouths of those who only care about collecting the money.

Money = Power. Power = Money.

Those who only care about the power / only care about the money will discount, excuse, ignore, absolve, white-wash, and make like it doesn’t matter any malfeasance, corruption, lack of ethics, inconsistency, hypocrisy, contradiction, self-destructive position or behavior from anyone — provided it comes wrapped in enough MONEY.

Exxon-Bile knows this, the AGU stooges practice this principle. Disappointing for sure.

What’s that term for people who put themselves up for sale or rent???
