I'd stick BP with the tab.

Wow! Latest estimates have up to 60,000 barrels of oil leaking daily into the Gulf of Mexico. That's more than 10 times the amount initially cited by BP, the company drilling for oil 50 miles off the Louisana coast. The scope of the environmental disaster keeps getting bigger and bigger. Astronomical. And I put the blame on greedy capitalists out to make quick bucks, quick profits. Without implementing adequate safety measures. I'd require BP and any other companies responsible for the spill to forfeit all of their profits for the next 10 or 20 years, or until enough money is generated to clean up the gawd-awful mess. --Jim Broede
