[quote:TX PATRIOT 950567:MV8xMDg5NzM1XzE3MzcxMjYxX0M3MzQ5QUM=] [quote:Hillcrest] say it as loud as you want, you are still wrong. there is NOTHING wrong with using oil and its by-products to make useful products... NOTHING.... [b][u]ANYTHING can be a danger when IT IS OBTAINED in an irresponsible manner... [/u][/b] it is the DIRECT responsibility of the company providing the goods to obtain them in a safe manner. [b]THIS IS SOLELY BP'S FAULT and this collective guilt crap is nothing but garbage.[/b] [/quote] I am not asserting that BP is not at fault for not following safe procedure, but to think that BP is the only company operating in this manner is simply an uneducated position. They do it in the US BECAUSE THEY CAN. By law, ALL of them can.......and do. It is systemic. Not so in other countries. And to blind yourself to your/my complicity is just, well, blind. Believe me, if there was no demand for this level of product, there would be no searching for supply. And if the US (corporate controlled Congress) were not so lax in drilling, safety and contingency response regulations in the US in going after the supply, then we would experience less of this destruction. One only need look at the laws and the safety record of the same oil companies operating in other countries. My point: understand this is SYSTEMIC...it is NOT just BP. It is driven by demand and followed by a lack of appropriate regulations to ensure safety in this country. It could have as easily been Shell, TOTAL, etc. On the other hand, be very, very careful in falling for support of Cap and Trade as this law has absolutely nothing to do with this issue. . [/quote]
