BP Saga continues...........

The worst environmental disaster in American History continues. All you see on the news is total condemnation of BP. Although I am definately not ready to give them a "halo" and slap them on the back saying, "you doing a heckava job Hayward;" I do think they have the majority of there focus in the right place. Everyone is wanting payments from BP for everything from lost wages to lost revenue in restaurants. Don't get me wrong, they should pay, but everyone needs to take a deep breath and let them "plug" that hole, or this will get a lot worst than now. It is bad enough. As it is now, we will deal with this for years to come. Now, we need to stop the spewing oil at the bottom of the Gulf. Then we could "hash out " payments to the people who were affected by this disaster, including the states, parishes, counties, towns, etc. that put out money to protect their coastline from the oil. And for the record.....I believe the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf is justified. I know that many people will be laid off during the moratorium; but, we have to make sure that this will never, ever happen again......that is where I am coming from. It will be rough, but we have lived through a lot here in South LA.....we will survive this. We do not know what condition we will be in once this is all over; but, we will survive and make the best of the situation.
