"I guess the Americans want a heart surgery performed online."

Absolutely. Instant gratification.
Life is a 2 hour movie
And, 100% perfect with no delays. They never see the stuff I have, where they bring in balloon pumps to try to assist the heart well enuf that they can take the patient off the bypass machine.

Even cars...your mechanic sez come at 2, and then he sez something else fell off and come back at 3:30, and then it's the part doesn't quite fit so I have to bang it a bit, but fer sure B4 I go home, and it is still covered by the same price I quoted you.
We just have to wait.

Believe me, the guys doing the work have no idea who is looking over their shoulders (except supervisors). They are locked into this the way a batter's focus is locked onto the pitcher's hand, even tho 60K people are looking over his shoulder and yelling at him.

>> think the press need to chill out and let the experts do their job in plugging the leak and the American people and press would be prudent to step aside and quit looking over their shoulders<<

We have to look over BP's shoulder because they lie about everything and do as little as possible.

The only thing I am sure of is they want to stop the oil flow, but beyond that they do as little as possile like clean up.
