One Rock: TransOcean Execs Get Safety Bonuses for "Best Year" Ever!
http://arockforeverygiant.blogspot.com/2011/04/transocean-execs-get-safety-bonuses-for.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. TransOcean Execs Get Safety Bonuses for "Best Year" Ever! Greed and stupidity sometimes seem to know no bounds. Transocean built and provided the workers for the Deepwater Horizon, nine of whom died in the explosion. The rig was leased by BP, which denied most executives bonuses in 2010 following the explosion and clean-up. Oddly, the company withheld all executive bonuses in 2009 after incurring only four fatalities "to underscore the company's commitment to safety.". A legal reso...

One Rock: All That Glitters is Not Gold
http://arockforeverygiant.blogspot.com/2011/08/all-that-glitters-is-not-gold.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. All That Glitters is Not Gold. Sometimes, it's Rhodium. It has been said, by a former Queen of England, I believe, that even "brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths." But if you thought you were buying gold, you're not likely to be pleased to find out that it was really only brass with a nice shine. It is unfair or deceptive to misrepresent the type, kind, grade, quality, quantity, metallic content, size, weight, cut, color, character, treatment, substance,...

One Rock: Nickled and Dimed to Death
http://arockforeverygiant.blogspot.com/2011/04/were-being-nickled-and-dimed-to-death.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Nickled and Dimed to Death. Everyday Americans are about to be nickled and dimed to death, and no one seems to care. Would you mind if AT&T over-charged you by $1.75 every month on your cell phone bill? Or if your cable provider added an unidentified fee of $3.00 to every cable subscriber's bill without telling you? How about if your employer started secretly deducting $5 bucks out of every Alabama fan's paycheck, just because your boss is an Auburn fan? It has never been more ...

One Rock: Would You Like Some Poison With That Apple Juice?
http://arockforeverygiant.blogspot.com/2011/11/would-you-like-some-poison-with-that.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Would You Like Some Poison With That Apple Juice? There is growing evidence that arsenic and lead levels in apple and grape juices sold in the U.S. are dangerously high. Arsenic is a known carcinogen, and both arsenic and lead have been linked to developmental problems. In recent studies, long term arsenic exposure was linked to poor scores in language, memory, and other brain functions, as well as diminished intelligence. I am currently investigating these cases, and active...
