161. The only attack here is this inane pseudo-logic

that BP must be the best solution, and that anyone who disagrees is obligated to draw up their own blueprints to do the job BP has failed to do. They failed. Period. I don't know what's driving this curious BP apologism or the logically nonsensical attempt to propose that anyone who dares critique the oil company who created the problem through its own greed and ineptitude must immediately row out to the site and repair BP clusterfrak by themselves. As noted earlier, it's the same kind of attempted logical sleight of hand we heard from rightwingers claiming that torture and Gitmo were the best policy "until you have a way to end terrorism." The answer is simple: THIS WAY IS NOT WORKING. FIND ANOTHER.

Again, put your own illogic where your mouth is, and tell us what BP is doing RIGHT here? Why should BP be running the show? On what possible basis would we allow it to continue to be in charge when it has already demonstrated an inability to even begin to address the problem?

Until you can answer that question, you have no right to demand answers from anyone else.
