what to do with BP execs-- I think each and every one of them, down to district manager level,
should be down there in the gulf, in shorts and sleeveless shirts, barefoot (no respirators, no protection--after all, it is perfectly safe, according to them) cleaning up the oil, AND, their personal fortunes should be confiscated and given to those whose lives they have destroyed. this goes for halliburton and transocean as well.

I thought this during the exxon valdez spill--something has to give them actuall experience in the suffering and ruin they are causing.

by the way, we are hearing that only the oil companies have the expertise to deal with this. my question is, who TAUGHT these people?

3. Agreed...
punishing "the company" doesn't mean a god-damned thing. A formless company did not cause this to happen, it was the deeds and decisions of human beings, and those humans are the ones who should be held responsible.

5. The district manager level is not making these decisions on their own
and probably aren't the one's getting wealthy. For once can we worry about the big wigs? The top dogs always escape and leave some stooge to take the fall. This time it should be top down.
