I would image that they have market studies showing that enough people are afraid of losing what is stored in their current Outlook to not take a chance and fork over the $100 extra. Seems out-ragious to me if that is indeed the only difference.

Thanks Quick! I remember the old set up like you said, but am I now to believe that by design, one an no longer remove an image once it is posted? An image that we own?

I am not sure that the world is any more dysfunctional than it has always been. Technology has just made it possible for you to know about it 24/7 and within seconds of the actual event, live and with video. Here are the largest oil spills for those that are interested in comparisons: Kuwait - 1991 - 520 million gallons Iraqi forces opened the valves of several oil tankers in order to slow the

Well, if you are now expanding the subject of the thread to the global condition of mankind and the unfair balance of wealth, etc, I'll just drop out of the conversation. I was talking about the position of BP in relation to this specific disaster, and not the establishment of a global government that can divide all the resources based on some criteria that I suppose a grand committee creates but yes, with moderation. I guess your point is that this is not really BP's fault but my

I guess we just look at this differently Doc. To say "If that means rationing, so be it" is very cavalier of you. As you list people first oof the things to be saved and recovered I am surprised that you do not include the millions of people, small businesses, large businesses that will be under severe stress if we have a rationed fuel supply. But so be it.... It is funny though that every one of the gulf states that are most affected by this disaster wants moratoriu

[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="50" id="2649572"] The cries for the US to take over the company are so counter productive. Does the US want to be responsible;e for all the British pensioners, all the retired dividend dependents? I think not. I am not defending BP's actions past or present. There will be a heavy load to haul in this clean up and recovery and it would be poor judgement to kill the horse that you expect to haul that load for political posturing or out of anger. The urge

Can't say that I disagree with your emphasis gentlemen. I merely point out that nothing is achieved by the bashing of BP in terms of fixing the problem and on the contrary, we merely add to the list of injured parties as a result of this tragic accident. 39% of the shareholders are in the US in pension funds, 401k's, etc. They too are hurt and that is a lot of folks. The cries for the US to take over the company are so counter productive. Does the US want to be respons

As for stopping the gusher,I have no idea if BP has rejected ideas that are truly feasible or not and I rather doubt that any one in the media has a clue either. I have not seen one idea put forth from the other oil majors or from anyone that actually has a track record of performance. As for the containment part, it seems that the biggest impediment is an ancient labor/union law that prohibits the use of amy vehicles or devices not manned by American crews. There i

"Ken, it's your planet as well. That supercedes all job concerns. It even supercedes (G-d forgive my blasphemy) skinning. Just when are people going to wake up and understand "Sustainability"? What's it going to take to end arrogant greed?[/quote] I am very concerned about all that you mention. Right now though, I am concerned most about getting the gusher stopped and the clean up completed. To do that we need a viable BP to foot the bill and driving

Bashing BP is well and good for anger release, but I word of caution. If you expect them to pay the huge sums that will be levied (and rightly so), It would be wise for the government not to bash them straight into bankruptcy. You know who gets the bill then right? Yep, you and me. Doc , I am a bit surprised that you accuse the BP CEO of planning to screw the wives, widows and pensioners that depend on BP for their retirement and at the same time expect them to pay f

He was such a fine fellow indeed and will be missed by many. My goodness, what a sad day it is after hearing such news. I am sure God is well aware of the goodness he now has in his hands and will give Ed the beautiful peace that he deserves.
