Re: Re: I totally agree, but, its not all bp, there are other elements that need to
I don't have trouble with off shore drilling.....But where are the regulations and technology to prevent such a disaster or if it does happen to fix it fast. Shouldn't there be international cooperation and a workable rescue plans in place before we start. It is just like the Uranium waste...no one yet all these years later knows how to dispose of the waste safely.....there too is another disaster waiting to happen. But where money is concerned, world safety just doesn't matter.

But, ah, that is what a certain side may want you to think. Think about all of the offshore rigs over all of these years and we remember Valdez and this one. With our need to get away from foreign oil dependency we must not throw the baby out with the water.

I totally agree, but, its not all bp, there are other elements that need to
be looked at, such as, is off shore drilling not worth it etc.

Corporate
Hi dsm I feel that this state of affairs has inveigled itself in most places. Try to speak to a manager and he is protected by the receptionist and so it goes up the scale, the people who get the stick never make the decisions.

it doesn't matter anymore...it is too late, the gulf and the land, and
the nursery land in the marshes...the tourist industry the fishing and shrimp and crabs. It could take generations for recovery.....the precious ecology is destroyed ...life is gone and a way of life for the people may never return.I would rather walk than buy a BP. product. My heart breaks for America...for us all if this can happen here in the greatest nation on earth, and nothing be done to stop it, to close off the spill, this could happen all over the world.

I am always being told by my daughter I am too trusting, and it was whistle blowing that lost my daughters job and I was the one that turned in people for what I saw as unethical, but no one that I know of were effected by it, unless the manager of the store was I don't know.

I know exactly what you mean
I suspect that the next step will be to find a scapegoat to blame for the whole incident so that the media focus on him instead of the company and all the while they will do their best to avoid cleaning their mess more than they have to...

Understood
I completely understand what you are saying about corporate mentality. My 26 years in the workforce since college can attest to seeing that occur. This disaster is BP's fault. However, what everyone is missing is the following question: What will occur when BP is then changed to Barrack Petroleum?
