Good for them, you make the mess you pay the price. Now lets remove the government from the equation and hold private corporations and private entities responsible for the risks they take.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

$8 billion actually doesn't seem like that bad of a number. Is it just me?

Actually yeah, it's just a number, what about the rest, I mean how many kind of wild life devastated, how many people in unemployment situation because of them, and what about the cost of global environment??? Tell me BP! Don't care, if you have to pay 8billion or more!
Finally, I can see, as usual that the accident was for nothing, we have seen there was again an other accident in an other oil platform in the golf of Mexico... so... BP just don't care of everything, I hope politics will regulate that, soon... but I don't really trust them anymore.
