Look in the dictionary and there is a word there called "ACCIDENT"

I suggest you look up another word ... "criminal" ... as that's more appropriate to "tell the story" of what happened with BP. They act like a criminal organization and have no qualms about killing their own employees as we see happened even during the Bush Administration ...

From a referenced article, in this post -- Post #4 ...

BP's Horrible Safety Record: It's Got 760 OSHA Fines, Exxon Has Just 1

• Back in 2007, a BP pipeline spilled 200,000 gallons of crude into the Alaskan wilderness. They got hit with $16 million in fines.

• "The Justice Department required the company to pay approximately $353 million as part of an agreement to defer prosecution on charges that the company conspired to manipulate the propane gas market."

• In two separate disasters prior to Deepwater Horizon, 30 BP workers were killed and more than 200 have been seriously injured.

• "According to the Center for Public Integrity, in the last three years, BP refineries in Ohio  and Texas  have accounted for 97 percent of the "egregious, willful" violations handed out by OSHA"

• OSHA statistics show BP ran up 760 "egregious, willful" safety violations, while Sunoco and Conoco-Phillips each had eight, Citgo had two and Exxon had one comparable citation.

It definitely shows "how BP operates" ... :-)

Why vote or try to change things when the elected will just do the same old lib things albeit a little lighter version.

Until those areas are returned to the state that they were prior to the blow out, the good people of South Louisiana are being deprived of their livelihoods.

I just saw a report on the news about some of what is happening with businesses down there and one business owner (a shrimper) said they were on their way to the best year they had in his 28 years in business (had 60 employees last year) and now they've got 8 (laid off because of the BP fiasco/disaster).

And they have to ramp up business and they borrow from the banks coming into the season and were expecting a good payoff to have a profit, pay the employees and pay the bank back -- and now -- they are looking at the destruction of a 28-year old business, because the owner has no idea how this business can survive this BP-caused disaster.
