I agree Richie. I don't think they should be closed. My point is that the government regulations and environmentalists drove the rigs out into unprecedented, untested waters and depths in the first place. BP wasn't out there because it was cheap or for the thrill of it. The government interference is as much to blame as BP. Accidents happen. I don't for one second believe BP intentionally caused the accident. If they did something wrong, that is what our courts are established to sort out. Keep politics out of the situation.
