You know? I have been rather speechless lately, as you can tell by my lack of any new blog posts. This whole BP oil leak and the absolutely huge mess it has caused and all because they had no shut off valve. Doesn't anyone in any kind of business have to have planned for every angle and contingency? How about small store owners having to pay large sums for insurance just in case on the rare moment, someone trips and falls in their store and blames it on them? I mean, everyone hopes the best scenario will be the one to play out but don't we all have to consider the other alternatives? Why is it that huge companies such as BP can bypass all of this and the US just slaps them on the back and says "It's O-K, we'll try again someplace else."
Now they are working on the next big try to stop the leak. Actually it is taking them a little time because they have asked people to start chewing gum for them and it takes a lot of chewing gum to plug that hole. . .
