In Louisiana where the people affected by this spill are working to protect hearth and home, the government reaction is to stop them. The Coast Guard has been mobilized against citizens until they are satisfied that the people protecting their property are up to code on life jackets and fire extinguishers and what-not; supposedly; while they, of course, do NOTHING!!
With all the oil shut off for who knows how long, and the push for Cap & Trade and the inevitable dramatic increase in the need for foreign oil, which will cause prices to astronomically skyrocket, will you then still be happy with all this posturing.
The dupes who fall for this freak show of a thugocracy are pitifully naive.

How did we become anti oil people? There are a number of things I am anti but oil ain't one of them.
Corporations have to be made accountable....BP leased this rig and were the ones who made the decisions. So your idea is let this all play out in a court of law and when all the fun and games are over in 10 -15 years. Everyone will know who to sue and a new round of court actions will start. But what will become of the "small people". The fisherman will be long out of business and the lives ruined. Is that what you really want?
I sure as heck didn't like 43 but your abolute hatred of 44 goes far beyond anything I thought of.
