its not haywards fault and likely he has nothing to do with it. is he the representative of bp? yep. Was there negligence? of course. Can you find some sort of negiligence in anything you do form an unlimited persepctive? yes. An example is driving and not using turn signals. The context of the negligence and reasons why is far more importnat then just "negligence". Is BP not doing anything? no. Are they accpeting responsibility and doing what they can? yes. Can they please everyone? no. Can they be political scapegoats? yes. Is trying to find blame or making BP a black sheep helping? no. Does it make it harder for BP to deal with the situation? yes. Does bashing BP help other parties political careers? yes. Do those other parties really care about the spill more then there own careers or whatever they value? no. Does high CEO pay make CEO's the sole responsible party? no. Is making large amounts of money wrong? no. Does BP have a motive to lose lots of money and 40% of stock value to keep the leak going? no. Does certain politicians and there affiliates have motive to blackball BP to further there motives to make lots of money? yes. If you personally really care why are you bitching and causing more headache then helping? Im far from the sea so i dont care too much but i know the political fallout of this will likely raise my gas costs. but hell ill admit i dont care too much and maybe thats a boon because thats means i dont have bias and can see it for what it is. OMG! how can you not care! because it is what it is and i can't do a lick to alleviate the situation. I can only "hope" the people with the no how have true intentions. might be a bit existentialist but something to keep in mind.

"Between 1971 and 2000, the U.S. Coast Guard identified more than 250,000 oil spills in U.S. waters"

What's the problem? He's just doing what every normal person would do in their time off, watching their servant sail a $700,000 yacht around an island.

Finally some good news. Tony Hayward is finally getting back to normal life. We're so sorry BP to have inconvenienced you in any way.

Tony Hayward is just a fucking muppet used by BP for stalling purposes. Did you see how many times he said "I don't know"
during the hearing?- they even had to ask him if he knew the day of the week.********

Yeah I don't know how you could watch that hearing and come away with the impression that BP is sincerely doing everything it can. I was telling someone the other day I thought hearings like this are usually a waste of time, and my expectation was that I would end up feeling somewhat sorry for Hayward in spite of it all, since he was doing his best to fix things.
In fact, the callous fuck simply refused to answer dozens of perfectly reasonable questions that would have helped people understand the situation. I guess because it's not in BP's interest to shed any light on things. I would have been more impressed if he stood up, Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men style, and accused everyone of hypocrisy because they use oil or something to that effect, but he just sort of obfuscated and mumbled his way though.
Whereas I thought the questions were not actually grandstanding and got into some specific technical issues. But feel free to use whatever storyline is easiest to understand I guess...after all "deathboy" says he doesn't care about the oil spill, unless it makes his gas prices go up. Seems like that's a sentiment shared by a lot of people in this country - me, me, me.

Talking of 'Chain of responsibility' check out Warren Anderson former CEO of Union Carbide when the Bhopal disaster resorted in a reported 20,000 deaths.
Wanted for Culpable homicide but refusing to face trial in India and shielded by the U.S government...and that's 26 years ago
