Jamesg, I stand by my characterization of your opinions in this matter as "speculation." Yes, I saw the Rachel Maddow show in question and, yes, it certainly makes one wonder and ask questions, but that's far from being proof of purposeful deceit in this situation, much less proof of the existence of some huge industrial conspiracy such as you posit.
Believe it or not, I am nowhere near being an industry apologist -- especially when it come to Big Oil -- and am personally furious with BP right about now. But until and if your suspicions as to the supposed sinister motivations of BP (et al) are proven (and I'm not talking in the court of public opinion!) -- they are just that: suspicions, not proven facts.
We are all, of course, welcome to draw our own conclusions, but doing so does NOT make those conclusions empirical truths. THAT's the fact of the matter.
And that's about all I'm gonna say on this subject before JimW kicks me out (sorry, Jim, just couldn't sit still on this one). |
