Pete, you seem to have an enless supply of bad ideas.... Where do they come from? Do you think them up yourself?

BP has gone on record they will pay all legitimate claims for the clean-up. Is the goal therefore to drive them into insolvency? Punish the company for the accident?

Maybe this is the time for the debate .....
If the company is to blame, is the punishment meant to hurt the millions of stockholders (both here in the US and in the UK)? After all, 1 out of every 6 dollars that is paid out ion Britain as a pension comes from BP.
