I'm a little more left so more government control is in my agenda... but I think a lot of people understand that this is not something you leave to the businesses to decide. By the Bush administration...or by the Obama administration? :O | ||

No, he apologised to BP because they're getting the full blame for something that wasn't entirely their fault... | ||

While we do have needs, it should not come before the safety of our environment and that should be our top priority. Believe it or not, our planet cannot sustain much more of our antics, we've already done too much harm and our poison seems to get only worse. Mother nature is going to get her day one day or another... | ||

Yes they do + Show Spoiler [My face] + ![[image loading]](http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9827/bptrollface.jpg) Seriously though, the rig was made by a Korean company, was operated by an American company, the bit that actually failed was installed by a Swiss company, another bit that failed and contributed massively to the spill was installed by an American company, the US government was the one that was regulating it so loosely and allowing them to drill there in the first place and finally BP is only 40% British (~40% American too) AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME WHATSOEVER. | ||

After reading the article I immediately lost all sympathy for any major oil company. But I also lost some respect for myself, the fact that we are content to allow such great devastation to occur in one part of the world to satisfy our needs, it really opened my eyes. | ||

And random 20,000,000,000 fines with no precedent and no legal backing being rushed out by lawmakers to pander to popular opinion is completely contrary to the ideals of every free country. That was the point Rep Barton was trying to make, that the fine has no basis in law and is little more than a shakedown on a rich company with a bad rep. BP are unpopular but in a free market economy the Gov can't just steal from companies it thinks can't defend themselves. It'll cost them more than 20,000,000,000 if they do it because of the distrust in the market the precedent will create. It's one thing for a Gov mandated authority acting within the law to fine companies for breaches of the law, it's quite another to retroactively extort money from rich companies just because you can. The law is the law, regardless of how unpopular the guy it defends is. That's pretty much the whole point of the legal system. | ||
