Thank you for pointing that our for him. The only thing he had right were the words free logic. Being logical is free thinking, but you have to have an open mind and at least half a brain to reach reasonable resolutions. Everyone is so quick to point their finger at BP blaming them for the whole mess. While they will more than likely share in most of the recovery costs and cleanup effort it will eventually be us the consumer who will bare the brunt of the fallout as this matter moves forward. Once BP gets through this they will conspire with all of their brother oil companies and raise oil prices so that the majority of this disaster comes out of our pockets. BP is already taking steps as a company to buffer this issue by removing the CEO and moving people around to make it look like they agree with us on the subject. That 20 billion dollar slush fund will disapear faster than you will believe and once that is gone BP will lawyer up and refuse to continue paying $$$$$ out to Americans looking for recovery funds or a free handout for those just trying to milk the issue to get ahead.
My stand is still that if we were not so dependant on OIL none of this would be happening. We as a nation need to get to the point of power independance and stop giving these oil companies our money. That will only happen if we the people stand up and force Congress and our Commander & Chief to pour all of our resources into alternate renewable power sources like solar, wind, and hydro electric power. The way our nation is running right now we need that oil and BP and all the rest are going to do whatever it takes to make it happen. All of it comes with inherant risks whether we like it or not.
That well is still spewing oil into the Gulf and their solution is drilling two more wells into the middle of the one that is already leaking and try to tap into it half way down below the surface. how well do you think that is going to work, and what if the cause even more leakage? Then we will have oil coming out of three holes instead of one. Every single thing they do at 5000 feet down is risky as hell and you can be sure that none of it is good for us. They already proved to the world that they do not know what they are doing, and we are letting them drill two more wells 5000 feet under our ocean. how smart is that?
