"robbed blind by all sorts of swindlers in like hungry dogs at a time when BP was not in a position to negotiate better prices for help with avoiding harm from the oil lest they be considered negligent, and wantonly careless at a time of crisis." Ogoni people in Nigeria also goes after Shell et al. The nwe say but those are negroes. It is their nature. You see? when there is money non the table, it is not only the Africans who go fo it to make a few easy bucks. Somehow this rule of the law does not preclude those robberies.

Visit the Gulf of Mexico today and you'd hardly recognize it as the scene of what President Barack Obama called "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced." It's as if scientists had conducted an insane experiment—dumping some 4.9 million barrels of oil into the ocean water—and discovered that its effect was in some ways negligible. Some 21 years after the Exxon Valdez disaster, you can still find globs of oil in Alaska's Prince William Sound. Yet the Gulf appears to be scrubbing itself: Sunshine is evaporating—and bacteria are rapidly digesting—the spilled oil. Less crude has infiltrated vulnerable wetlands than was widely feared. Documented fish and bird kills have been small, and most Gulf beaches remain pristine. businessweek.com
