The assholes doing this should be in prison for the rest of their days.
The money hungry perverts will keep right on doing it. Life means
nothing to them.

They are simply doing what it takes to meet the demand from the clueless
American consumer. We don't care how bad the oil companies have to rape the
earth to meet our demand, as long as we don't have to live with the result. If
the environmental mayhem happens to affect us (rather than some anonymous
third-world country), then the oil companies suddenly become "criminals".

As of this morning, our roads are still full of gas hog SUVs and pickup trucks,
most with one person in them. If you really wish to see something criminal,
just stroll by any USA elementary school at closing time and see the huge line
of mommy-driven SUVs, all idling with AC condensate puddles under them, waiting
so their darlings won't have to soil themselves mixing with the commonfolk in
the school bus nor walk a few blocks home.

If we are looking for someone to blame for the Gulf disaster, we need to start
with ourselves.

Amen, brother.

P.S.

However, greed DID play a part in this drama too. They had almost zero
experience with working at these depths and yet they cheaped out on
using the right (read more expensive) hardware.
