I agree, it is ridiculous. it's also "ridiculous" to not see that it is in fact, a highly political issue. the Right wants to put the blame on our president with such bull**** as "Obama's Katrina" & faux anger at him pissing off the British..they say that BP wouldn't be in deep water if the Green Weenies hadn't forced them there. it's a lie. the big plays inland are all just about gone & the REAL monster fields are in the Gulf. that's why BP is there... that's what they do. find oil & harvest it. there are over 42,000 offshore rigs operating with minimal spill & loss of lives.granted, they aren't as deep as the Horizon,but that shouldn't matter. BP told us they could get the oil safely. they didn't say "we might have a blow out or two along the way." the facts are undeniable. these bastards ignored all kinds of red flags so they could make more money,faster.these people are nothing short of monsters & need to be put away for a long time. our nation NEEDS this oil, but we can't keep letting things like this tragedy happen because of insane greed for profits & disregard for human lives & our fragile ecosystem.
