The American Way is, indeed, to fix the problem, clean it up and redesign the thing to not let it happen again. then get on with the work.

The Corporate Way is to ignore it for as long as possible, let someone else clean it up and deny responsibility behind a wall of lawyers.

We need to handle this the American Way not the BP Way.

What did everyone THINK was going to happen when you drill for and transport oil in one of America's most valuable tourist and recreational wonders?

Our leaders are so stupid that if they were put on Survivor, they'd decide to make the latrine in the only water well on the island. That way, it's out of site, and no digging.

Hear Hear!!

You got that right!

In the early 60's if we had waited for corporate America to undertake a trip to the moon...and consequently the miniturization of electronic circuitry we would still be suckin' hind teat.

The drilling would have been working out real nice if the eco-terrorists didn't blow the damn thing up!

Do you have proof that LA didn't ask for help, until 3 days after the storm?
I see you are still confused. When the spill intitially happens it is the company's responsibility, but once it endangers the coast lines of several states, it's a different story.

I see you don't remember the mayor saying he didn't need help because he was going to dispatch the busses to start evacuating people, but when he finally got around to it, they were all under water, then he realized things were out of control and asked for help. That is a completely different subject though.

Indeed, common sense thinking, by rational people would understand this is not any real example or evidence against drilling, unfortunately the hysterical left knows exactly how to fire up the hysterical left.
