I didn't say any of us should go back to the stoneage, I said we are all to blame for incidents like this as we demand the oil.
99% of us drive cars, buy oil based products, and bitch and complain up and down about the costs of them.
Would people have bitched last year if gas/oil prices spiked to add safety features to said rigs, YES I'm certain they sure would have.
Hindsight is always 20-20, but because we want cheap fuels and use said fuels, the responsibility lies just as much on us as it does them.
Should they be responsible for clean up efforts? OF COURSE they should, but to sit here in our 40k cars, and our petroleum product filled lives, pointing fingers is just like I said, silly.
