Oil is leaking into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate estimated to be somewhere between 56,000 and 84,000 barrels a day. BP, the oil company responsible for this catastrophe has been lying from the very beginning.
Last night on 60 Minutes, an employee of BP stated that his supervisor disregarded a warning given to him that told of things going wrong.
Now, the oil is threatening to go around the Florida Keys and up the East coast.
Finally, when the oil leak is stopped, the cleanup effort will be monumental.
Surely, this is reason enough to make sure that in the future, governmental regulations are in order.
That's right, we need more governmental involvement.
Companies only think and care about the bottom line and their profits. They can't be trusted to tell the truth about just about anything that goes wrong.
This is also another reason to strengthen the OSHA regulations. Eleven workers died in the accident of the oil drilling rig explosion.
The phrase "Drill Baby Drill" should be replaced with "Regulate Baby Regulate".
