I think we should all move away from them, distance ourselves as much as possible and hope other companies' revenues, that may get my business, don't go in part, to BP. They can't raise their prices because other companies won't need to and they'll price themselves out of the market. I did hear though, on NPR that they are trying to raise the cap from 75M to 10B. That was put in place from Valdez but they are arguing that it is obsolete for many reasons. Hopefully it will work and it will be changed. One (more/other) thing that really bothers me is that they want to stop the lawsuits from being filed in certain courts and relegate them to others that will surely take decades. One quote I heard about this that is a pretty perfect assessment, and I may mess it up here, but basically the gist is: "you cannot privatize profits while publicizing responsibility" or something to that effect. I say let 'em sink faster than their oil rig.Given Campbellhttp://www.givencampbell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-61024866285831749002010-05-25T09:10:13.531-04:002010-05-25T09:10:13.531-04:00What a sick, sick clusterfuck.

I was never a fan of our government, but between things like this and the corn/beef industry, I loathe the whole stinking rotten system with a passion.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05124636214096825169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-60272221046200708482010-05-25T07:35:27.849-04:002010-05-25T07:35:27.849-04:00As go the damselflies, so goes an entire way of li...As go the damselflies, so goes an entire way of life along the Gulf Coast.

As enraging as the Sarah Palins of the world are about this the Democrats aren't exactly blameless. 30 years of dismantling regulations couldn't been accomplished without their complicity. The Republicans have been driving the train, but the Democrats have been shoveling the coal.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-7936386928493121382010-05-25T00:44:35.586-04:002010-05-25T00:44:35.586-04:00Amen and amen. What is even worse (God, what could...Amen and amen. What is even worse (God, what could be worse??) is that now Republicans want to limit BP's liability to $75 million and have us, the taxpayers, foot the bill for the rest (half a billion and counting) despite the fact that BP has made nearly $3 BILLION in revenues since the spill began. But, you know, government "meddling" via regulation or, say, a public option for health insurance is DIABOLICAL. God.<br /><br />Okay, I'll come down off the soapbox now... What a photo; thanks for sharing it. I put a bullfrog on my blog today and am, like any good treehugger, heartbroken at all the critters dying because of this.Anna Learhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693548595547604405noreply@blogger.com
