Sorry Scott, the last post was not directed at you. I meant to keep the other person private and sort of screwed up the post-lol.

The government should have taken over the operation during week one...Have BP and other world class industry experts focus on capping the well...Have the Government coordinate the cleanup on the water and on the shoreline -- no expense would be sparred and BP would get all the bills. Outsourcing decision making to BP is very dangerous when you're dealing with the worst environmental disaster in North America -- BP will do EVERYthing in their power to downplay what is happening, use toxic dispersants to hide parts of the spill, and use expensive lawyers to tie up hundreds of legitimate lawsuits...BP is focussed on surviving as a company but it's run like a ruthless mafia crime family and cost cutting is ingrained in the BP corporate culture...BP will not change it's ways if they just have to a pay a few fines and settle a few class action lawsuits...the government must prosecute BP to the fullest extent of the law...and the government must fine BP and take away some of BP's drilling rights and fuel contracts - hit BP where it really hurts and that might start to send a message.
