This is just an excuse to get government to start taxing gas more. Liberals will not be happy until our taxes match the $9 per gallon cost that's in Europe. BP is nothing more then the excuse to use the don't let a crisis go to waste tactic of oppressive government ruling..
[Joke][I hope] BP was an inside job!!!
Everytime something terrible happens in this country it's obviously the fault of the higher-ups otherwise to whom would we give our misplaced blame?

Obama is an advocate for alternative energy
BP is a fuel (i.e. energy) company who might just have its assets seized by the government, a government that is increasingly more interested in green energy
perhaps more importantly, this disaster raises the public awareness of the inherent risks in fossil fuels. Turning people off of the idea in general.
Although there were survivors from the crash NONE OF THEM REPORT SUSPICIOUS INFORMATION IN ALMOST THE EXACT SAME WAY
even worse THEY ALL CALL FOR HURTING THE COMPANIES IN A WAY THAT THE OBAMA ADMIN WOULD JUST LOVE
Therefore I propose creating the BPTruth Movement as proof that right-wingers can create crazy conspiracy theories too.
Any other suspicious activity should be reported to this internet forum, the "official" headquarters of the BPTruth movement and wonderful sounding board for armchair physicists

Well technically it is the fault of the higher-ups both in the government and big oil executives...
1) We (Louisiana) have asked the federal government to give us more containment booms but we still do not have enough to protect our lands from the oil.
2) Big Oil has not learned their lesson from the 70's. The only advances they have made is technology to help them dig deeper.
3) Lack of safety regulations.
4) The federal government as well as the oil companies were not prepared for an accident to happen even though they knew it was a possibility...
5) Clean up crews are getting sick and BP executive uses "food poisioning" as an excuse.
Why should the US govt GIVE Lousiana more booms? The state has the authority to demand that the oil companies purchase them, don't they?
Food poisoning is possible, especially if you are eating Cajun food for the first time....:2razz:
IF the US Government has BOOMS then they should sell these to BP so that they can be sited where required.
Food poisoning is indeed possible, but I doubt very much that food poisoning is the cause.
It seems to me that UtahBill has never worked in an oil field. Just a suggestion, why not go to your local gas station and try breathing in those fumes for say 5 or 6 hours without either fainting or feeling nauseated.
Granted we should have more available, but How do they know where they will be required?)
Perhaps in an offshore Oil drilling Rig area??
And the US Govt is not in the business of selling booms to BP or anyone else.
When the Oil Company does not have sufficient Oil Booms available, but the Government does have some, it behoves both the Oil Co. and the Government to get to gether and get the booms out to wharever they are required.
Believe it or not, it is financially impossible for the govt to prepare for every eventuality.
Agreed, but when some disaster or other strikes at the Gulf government seems woefully inadequate to stand up to the situation at ALL.
After the numerous Hurricanes that have previously struck the Gulf States one might be excused for thinking that someone somewhere within the admisistration had at some point thought about what if?
As for gas stations, there are already many thousands of people working at gas stations NOT getting sick.
True and the reason for this is that they are not continually immersed in Gas fumes.
Gas is a derivative of oil, crude oil itself is not as bad to be around as gasoline.
Crude mixed with dispersants?
I grew up in the Texas oil patch, had a working well near my high school...
There is no PB truth. Not without the J, anyways. :mrgreen:

Because liberals just love paying more money for things. We look for any excuse to spend more on things!
