MM, you keep comparing this to the Valdez. I really don't see the similarity. That was one ship... this has been spewing oil for almost 3 months. And you keep saying that everything with the Valdez was back to normal -- I've read a lot of articles that would suggest otherwise.

I'm really surprised that you are not more sympathetic to those who are losing businesses because of this situation. You like to lecture me that I "just don't get business" because I worked for the government. Well, in this case, I can certainly see what is happening. And frankly, no amount of money that BP forks over is going to fix things. It may keep people afloat for a time, but it will not solve the problem. It's not just the oil in the water, but it is the impact on fragile marine ecosystems. They still don't know what impact that the chemical dispersants are going to have. So many things are not yet known. And still the oil is spewing out into the Gulf.
