Default Deepwater Horizon
Did anyone see the 60 Minutes interview of the survivor? I guess BP wanted oil faster, so they cut safety, resulting in the giant oil spill. It also went on to say that this isnt the first time BP has done this. BP was fined $108 million in 05' for their Texas explosion. Of course this doesnt bother them because they make BILLIONS in profit.

I think I'm going to start boycotting BP.

if the green people would let us drill here on land we would not have this underwater problem, but that makes too much sense and look what has happened now as a result.

Well this could still happen on land. Only difference is they would be able to contain it much faster than out in the middle of the ocean.

In fact, I think money has boycotted my pocket.
