Gulf oil spill.At what point does the gov't declare this a national emergency or something whereupon all resources are dedicated at any & every level. - HdnAgnda May 20, 06:17 30
- at the point that a sitting one term president would rather own the disaster than just to let it be all BP's to spin....nm - x May 20, 06:41
- I'm more interested in the government getting its sh!t tight to make sure oil companies can't cut corners so this doesn't happen again. -- nm - znufrii May 20, 06:39
- what exactly are they going to do that isn't already being done? -- nm - mafic May 20, 06:21 25

        thinking the relif well is going to stop things is also disilutional - Danedukenuuk May 20, 06:44 8
        
        no it isn't. a relief well will most likely work, and it's not like they're pinning all their hopes on that anyway. -- nm - mafic May 20, 06:48 5
        
        a relief well will most likely work - Danedukenuuk May 20, 06:51 4
        
        it's not delusional to think that something will probably work, if it will actually probably work. -- nm - mafic May 20, 07:23 1
        
        You're "disilutional" if you think you're use of logic and reasonning will work -- nm - Guigue May 20, 07:26

        and you're like the sports commetator discussing - Danedukenuuk May 20, 07:08
        
        It's "disilutional" because it "might not stop the spill"? - Guigue May 20, 06:47 1
        
        yes it might not stop the spill - Danedukenuuk May 20, 06:53

        Is any amount enough? - Guigue May 20, 06:43 7
        
        thoose are the times you accept you don't have the tech to do something in the first place - Danedukenuuk May 20, 06:45 6
        
        So your solution is do nothing because nothing will work, instead just sink the company for making the mistake... - Guigue May 20, 06:48 5
