I also think the goverment should bill BP for every penny we spend fixing or helping to fix this spill. I'm not looking for the goverment to take over BP but to protect their citizens like they said when they took office. I was a person who said drill baby drill but I did not know at the time that our goverment and BP was allowed to throw safty out. I was sitting on the beach this weekend thinkng about what if this was our beach getting hit. I still want drilling but we need to clean this up and find a plan b and C when we have a problem. This thing should have been over within 24 hrs of its explosion.

Meanwhile, in Utopia World we expand drilling and we keep a beautiful coast. In reality it's just another trade off. Life is about trade offs in Capitalism. What's more important that damn oil, or the Gulf. Different people will have different answers regardless of what their religious affiliation or political , it's that simple . You want the oil? Things like this will happen. We know ain't nobody turning any money down. Let us pray for the environment. Forgive us oh lord for not being good stewards of the blessing you bestowed upon the now almost defunct Native Amercians. Please forgive us for our greed and insolence.
