11. The really sad thing is that BP sunk the oil with Corexit to avoid pay the per barrel fine.

They ruined the Gulf for a $1,000 per barrel fine, $4,300 if they are found grossly negligent. They refused to pay interim benefits to most of the victims so they could get them financially desparate enough to take $5k. The Repugnant Govs are all bought off on the Gulf Coast. Not one of them is demanding this foreign oil company make things right with their constituents. Haley Barber was like a pig in the trough telling BP which of his contractor buddies to use for beach cleanup. The media is not allowed to do any negative stories. The Ny Times runs stories about poor BP and all of the fraud they have to deal with. Boo hoo!
