Bet you 100 pesos... when all is said and done, BP will blame one (or more) of the 11 dead

[scheming daemons]

Someone who can't defend himself will be ultimately judged to be the "culprit" who's action (or inaction) caused the explosion.


Future hearing of BP executives before the Senate:

"Yes, Senator. If only the deceased had done his job properly, he and his 10 colleagues would be alive today and the oil gusher would've never happened. It's a real shame we can't ask him why he was so negligent."

1. They already started

and that is classic MO... after all dead heroes can't speak.

6. dead victims is accurate, heroes is hyperbolic.

I realize propagandists create heroes wherever convenient, but what was 'heroic' about working on that oil rig? The only criteria I can imagine would end up making a decent % of the US population heroes as well. That isn't very inclusive, is it?

btw you could consider taking the next step and calling them martyrs. That also has considerable propaganda value.

2. You can bet that they will have the best lawyers that money can buy defending all parts of

this disaster in order to minimize responsibility. All one has to do is follow what happened with the Exxon Valdez and the punitive damages that they ended up paying for their spill, how many years later?

5. I really think that's why we need to attach the ceos and cheney's name to THEIR disaster

they made it:

The Hayward/Cheney Gusher

The Hayward/Cheney Oil Catastrophe

There names should always be attached to this throughout history because it is their fault, not the people who took bp's orders.

3. 200 pesos if they claim it was because of a failed homsexual love affiar, a la USS Iowa. n/t

4. I was thinking the same thing today.

It's just a matter of time.
