Ooops... sorry man. You mentioned gun control while I was posting on the “gun control” thread. I mixed up my threads. Yeah, I agree with you. I’m not trying to accomplish anything here other than to point out that government doesn’t work. So more government is not going to work better.
It’s sort of like financial reform. We’ve had financial regulation in this country since the 1930’s. If they haven’t made it work by now, then they aren’t going to fix it with more of the same.
Root Cause of theis accident...is that the FEDS had control of the WHOLE process...from beginning to failure...
THEY leased the area to BP, BP was to prepare certain paperwork...the feds waived it, along with many many MANY more drillers.
NOW start asking YOURSELF and your friends...”what about the Chinese and Russian drillers” in the GoM...
WHO did “THEY” payoff??? Have they been THOROUGHLY checked for “good BOP systems” that have redundant backup????
ME THINKS...
NO...HELL NO...
BP has many years of experience in the North Sea and GoM...Chinese and Russians...don’t!!!
