We are the consumers that demand extravagant amounts of oil for cheap. None of us are concious about what we use energy for and how much of it we use (It's a hot summer day, let's turn up the air conditioner, or, let's take a ride down the shore). We all waste energy more so than any other nation. And now we are going to judge a company who attempted to provide this necessary commodity? Mistakes happen, BP should pay, but they should hike prices (Not that they can, the market prices commodities) and pass it on to the people who got them in the Gulf Coast to begin with- we the people of the global economy.

Many world bodies are still talking,meeting but no immediate stoppage of pollutions in air,water and in lands.

Tony, why don't you supervise one of the spraying rounds and see what kind of food poisoning you can get?" Just shut your big, lying, gaping hole. “Tony Hayward, the company’s CEO, suggested the illnesses might be food poisoning.”

Gee, I always thought she was just a movie title. No matter, judging by her overinflated sense of importance and almost laughable sense of dramatic statement, it's clear this whole Hollywood thing has gome straight to her head. 'The world rightly takes pause at such a wound on the face of our planet.' 'A moment of silence is due.' I doubt any Hollywood hack could come up with worse boiler plate than what's represented by those two lines. Erin Brokovich – So she really does exist?

‘A moment of silence is due.’

The rest of us rely on our vehicles to get to work to support our families. Public transportation isn't available or feasible for everyone. But that doesn't mean that we are responsible for the actions of companies that supply the products we need to run our cars. Let's try and keep the ball on the playing field. iloboo..from your post I assume you don’t drive a car. The rest of us rely on our vehicles to get to work to support our families.
