BP didnt set out that week to wreck a ecosystem (yes it did happen) but they were only answering OUR supply and demand craze.
The blame for this lies on ALL OF US.
To think any different is foolish.

not at all. if a house building contractor uses lead pipes in my house to build it to cut costs, it's hardly my fault for wanting a house , or even a cheap house> It is however my responsibility once i know the hazards of lead pipes exist to help make sure nobody gets swindled, just as it is our responsibility to make sure things like this don't happen again. When the valdez crashed they made the oil companies spend billions to upgrade teir equipment so it woulnt happen again , i don't think they went far enough but i think its clear we probably prevented a few valdez's just through these efforts.
