That second dude had one hell of a sun tan.
First of all, learn how to use apostrophes.
Second, BP is a corporation. Its only job is to make money, and it seems to be doing that rather well. Any reference to ethics and moral behavior, even prudence can only pertain to human beings. Non-living entities don’t have a sense of right or wrong, by definition. We have allowed them to exist, and last year we gave them the right to free speech and improved their ability to control our political system. This is not an aberration but the logical progression of our way of doing things.
By the same logic that says that if we secure the border, then there will be no incentive to pass comprehensive immigration reform, if they had prevented the spill from reaching land, there would be less incentive to vote for “cap and trade”.
And as important as it is, to “not let a serious crisis go to waste” maybe it’s also important to not let a serious crisis not happen.
