Actually all of these executives are socialist, although a better term is limosine liberial. They advocate goverment controllin g the behavior of other throught their advocacy of goverment imposed solution to a variety of economic and social issues, exempting their own behavior of course. Read Thomas Sowell's book: "The Vision of the Anointed", he explains the behavior of the elite rich socialist far better than anyone on this board could.

I don't really think much about George Soros or Ted Turner

No offense, Colonel, but I can tell.

Wealth or even success at business does not automatically make one a supporter of the capitalist system. History is littered with folks like Robert Owen (and yes, Ted Turner, Geo. Soros, and Ben and Jerry) who used the proceeds from their successful businesses to underwrite socialist programs. I don't want to chasten you, but please wake up to this fact. They are a danger to the capitalist system as a whole, just as are other "rent-seeking" industrialists and monopolists.

Some estimates indicate that the tar sands region in northern Alberta could produce enough oil to sustain the current level of consumption in all of North America for the next 500 years.

How about the Green River Shale formation in UT, CO and WY. Isn't that even a larger reserve than the Tar Sands?

They may be, but they make pretty good ice cream.

So does Haagen-Dasz, and you don't have to swallow a load of holier-than-thou liberal sanctimony with every spoonful.

Don't forget that Ben & Jerry's are big PETA supporters, which we all know is a front for ELF (a known terrorist organization)

"Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Made in a factory that depends on electricity-guzzling refrigeration, a gallon of ice cream requires four gallons of milk. While making that much milk, a cow produces eight gallons of manure, and flatulence with another eight gallons of methane, a potent “greenhouse” gas. And the cow consumes lots of water plus three pounds of grain and hay, which is produced with tractor fuel, chemical fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides, and is transported with truck or train fuel:"
