Look, we all know that you're ticked off with our "brown bear" but don't underestimate the ursus arctos species for he is a clever one..... obstinate yes but terribly clever nonetheless. It's just that like most large North American bears he can only take so many bites from the liberal wolf pack before he starts to bellow and take a powerful swipe..... and his swipe can fell a moose.

As to the BP cap, when businesses feel they will not be held accountable when catastrophe occurs, they are simply not going to invest in precautionary measures. In this case, BP counted on the government to bail them out. When they finally realized that there would be no messiah, BP started to act. Hopefully regulatory reform will amend this practice.

(Along with evolution doesn't exist) If a major corporation told everyone that the sky is going to become less blue and they need to charge more to keep it blue a lot of people would be fine with that.
