While you may wish for the Nanny State Government to clean up BP’s mess, I hold BP responsible.
As for the legal matters, those can be adjudicated at the Federal Courthouse in New Orleans.
Will there really be any need for that, since you have already determined BP's guilt?
This mentality of raking companies engaged in high risk work is ridiculous. We have become, and are raising a nation of weinerschitzels who expect a riskless existence. We are screwing ourselves as a society with all the precaution. We need risk takers and innovators, but we just kill the businesses and companies who take the risks when something goes wrong. God bless the risk takers and innovators, including the rig workers who paid the ultimate price in this case for our progress. God have mercy on and bring wisdom to the handwringers and worriers. Let them appreciate the sacrifices made for their way of life. Please also let them understand the opportunity costs of their actions.
Halliburtion was responsible for cementing the well and Cameron International supplied the blowout preventer. I think those two might be more responsible than BP.
