[Fredslist] BP

[Ken Jewell]

The American subsidiary of BP, which is, in the end, legally responsible for
this mess, should be put in receivership with a qualified person installed
to manage the assets and report to EPA/Coast Guard/Army Corp of Engineers to
ensure an expedited clean-up.  This dodge responsibility in the name of
making astounding profits is simply a disgrace.  Public policy here must not
allow the few to benefit at the cost of the many.  Unfortunately, however,
after the last decade of leadership, to many people have become insensitive
to these kinds of issues. And that must change.

In fact, we should actually offer to pay the BP stations MORE than the
actual pump price to help them out in their time of need.

According to BP's financial statements
(http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/BP/financials), they turned a
PROFIT of $47,430,000,000 for fiscal year 2009 and a PROFIT of
$57,570,000,000 in 2008. So if the cleanup costs them $25,000,000,000 then
they'll only make a PROFIT of about $20,000,000,000 this year. My heart
bleeds for them.

It is critical to all of us that BP stay financially viable and healthy.  To
the extent BP cannot pay for the clean-up and reparations, it is a sure bet
that the rest of us will be paying for it in the form of higher taxes as the
government will be stepping in to 'finish the job'.  It is in our collective
best interest to have BP strong and viable.  Boycotting the stations is NOT
a good idea.

Boycotting BP stations hurts small business owners and lessees who
struggle daily - BP couldn't give a damn - Boycott the politicians who
are not moving on this manner - almost all of them are guilty.
Boycotting BP stations is a dumb idea.

Just bought a Prius. So we are boycotting as many gas stations as
possible!
