We require context and comparative analyses in order to form a proper judgment. One would expect BP's interest to be diamaetrically opposed to the State government's interest. It will be far less costly to BP to bribe our political culture to pretend that the "problem" has been solved; and tax the citizens at a later date to actually redress this nasty, intractable problem. Once you have successfully destroyed your environment, it will stay destroyed for hundreds of years; this is the amount of time required for the re-establishment of pristine conditions of scenic beauty and bountiful marine resources! Our great-great-great grandchildren will be able to enjoy our Gulf coastline! The intermediate generations have merely a dirty, nasty, and toxic death-filled landscape to shudder at. - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 11 Apr 2011 17:13:22 +0100
