Remember it was a explosion that made it happen---not like some skipper running aground on a reef that they had been going by for years that everyone knows about.

Gas up here---if lucky you might find decent gas for 2.93 a gallon.

All of what you say is correct and accurate...BUT.. as it's coming to light, BP was pumping seawater, not mud, in an effort to hold down drilling costs.. They, as much as anyone else, caused the accident in the first place. The feds were not out there on the rig, and, while I hate the present administration, I have a hard time blaming them or the previous administration for this accident. It was caused by BP taking shortcuts that cost 11 people their lives.

Let them fix the problem, then suck them dry with lawsuits. Hell, if I was a boater in that area I'd be starting a class action just for them depriving me of my fishing grounds. Hang em' I say.
