My second point was why our gov’t has not aided in this clean up? Is it trying to make oil drilling look badly? They don’t need help. The gov’t has ships, and people who could aid in the leak and it seems that they are keeping their distance. Similar to the charges that were leveled against Bushy after Katrina. [/quote]Big difference here. Katrina was as act of God and this gusher is an act of man.
The people responsible for the disaster are responsible to fix it.[/quote]
A disaster is a disaster. Obama’s administration has had 5 weeks, and haven’t done anything but launch a couple investigations and bitch about the dispersant. We know the only difference to you, Brian, is that your Messiah is in charge this time.

Participant[quote=captcha]I like how the government (federal, none the less) is being asked to step in and take over the containment efforts. Since it is not a defense issue I say let the free market take care of this. BP can always call Harry Stamper.[/quote]
The free market will take care of our dependence on oil, but when there is a disaster, it is precisely the time for the government to get involved. At least to a larger extent than bitching about the dispersant BP is using.

Participant[quote=briansd1]Yes, Aecetia, here we go again.
One inspector even conducted offshore oil platform inspections while negotiating for a job with the platform’s owner. The activities outlined in a report released today by the Interior Department’s inspector General occurred between 2000 and 2008, and were not directly related to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. But Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the abuses are yet another reason to clean house at the Minerals Management Service.
The I.G.’s investigation was prompted by an anonymous letter in 2008 sent to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Orleans. The MMS has had other well-known cases of misconduct, most notably in its Denver office where another I.G. report outlined cases of MMS officials using drugs and having sexual relationships with oil industry personnel.

Right, the problem is there weren’t enough meth smoking, porn watching regulators. If there were only three times as many, none of this would have happened.

ParticipantThey’re all great. The one I’m thinking of definitely mentions the insane and the brilliant. It could be something like, ” . . .only the insane or the truly brilliant dare to change reality to fit their views”
