It should be a legal decision based on the economics with no political involvement or political judgments on the part of judges involved at all. Justice is supposed to be blind, not reflect public sentiments, stereotypes and prejudices.

What planet are you from?

Right now Florida tourism is off. Rational or not there is big money being lost, and who is responsible?

The media and other folks who are hyping the catastrophe as being more than it is.

The old standby, blame the media. Have you seen one instance where the media has said there is oil on FL beaches? First reference I've seen is today... something like 8 miles off the NW beaches. If I was a northerner and heard that I would cancel my vacation; who wants to go to an oil stained beach?

If otoh charter operators are losing money because of the hysteria of media and environmental hypesters, thats tough luck.

Since that isn't the case it's a non-issue. This is real Bummer. I know it's your worst nightmare and hard to accept but face reality.

Plus fishermen might be able to sue if catches are reduced.

Reduced? 1/3 of the Gulf is closed. "If"?!

I'd guess BP will survive but shareholders will suffer over time.

Shareholder are suffering now. Where you been?

There is talk of a take over this morning... I doubt that. Nobody will want the liability.
