What gets me is that already, if you read between the lines, it's seems obvious little will change. Even now, on PBS news tonight, the spinn merchants are at work. Bunch of crap about how the wildlife have come through much better than expected, doing alright, no biggie.Interesting link about BP's involvement in the Lockerbie case. When, in conversation, I aver that the big corporations run things, I'm looked at like a hysteric. This story is just the tippiest tip of the ice berg but is a nice illustration. I also got a kick a month ago out of the Mississippi governor and others yelling about how the gulf needs the oil industry and how the drilling moratorium was eville. Even fishermen and the like are saying this. How bad does it have to smell before people quit peeing in their own bathwater?I really am beginning to think like James Lovelock that there is now very little chance that we, as a global society, have any prospect of averting environmental disaster. I pray though that I am wrong. Just wish there were a few more people with real power who were willing to say that the emperor is naked. Anyhow, this is good news.</blockquote>
