except its not like spilled milk….  your boyfriend does not make obscene profits from selling you the glass of milk ….nor does the spilled milk affect every person on the planet…alive or not yet born CSR people C S R

BP deserves all comments and trash that they receive here for all the damage and destruction that they perpetrated in the Gulf. And then to lie and try and cover up is just like a big corporation.

** correction — “The livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families comes from the Gulf of Mexico” should be “The livelihood of thousands of families comes from the Gulf of Mexico” — which translates into hundreds of thousands of families dependent on our seafood, because of various businesses and restaurants.

@znikki:
I'm from Louisiana. I've lived most of my life in and around New Orleans. Can you even fathom how great this impact is?  The livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families comes from the Gulf of Mexico. Those families sell their seafood to local restaurants and businesses, who sell to tourists, residents, and around the country. That's revenue for OUR state, which was desperately struggling due to the economic downfall BEFORE BP raped our waters. Now things are dire. People I know aren't able to make enough money to keep their businesses open, feed their families, or stay retired.  It was heartbreaking to watch a man who has spent his whole life shrimping, save the few last bags of good shrimp for his family… just because he knew that his grandchildren might never eat a shrimp caught in our waters,again. Your “milk” analogy is irrelevant, to us, who are drowning in “milk” because you “need” it.

It's like, if I drink milk every day for years and then one day my milk company accidentally explodes billions of cows. And then Elisabeth Hasselbeck gets on TV and talks about how much she loves milk and I'm like FUCK YOU LADY, the exploded cows won't stop getting sour milk all over my businesses and cats! So I switch to Oberweis and just hope my businesses and cats recover from the sour milk in a thousand years because explosions happen. (just playin, znikki)
