No more drilling around america

How is it that these folks can be so ignorant when it comes to taking blame.BP says transocean is at fault then transocean says halliburton is at fault then halliburton blames BP is the responsible party. This is just not what the american people deserve especially those near the gulf. I find it dishearting that those doing the questioning receive money from those being questioned.
Now reports have surfaced saying the safety measures in place where never going to work. There was a series of operational and equipment failures due to hydrogen leaks. So now we have lost eleven life's due to the irresponsibility from BP because they only care about profits and not the safety of their employees. If they actually did their job there would be no need for these huge cleanups that the country is dealing with.
With so many families affected with this spill yet they still come to washington with their arrogance. Do they even care for those families that lost their family member in the explosion. One way they could show they care is in the future put those safety measures that would be there in any other country that has offshore drilling regulation. how about those fishermen whose life will never be the same when this oil hit's the coast and basically wipes out fish and shrimp that brings in the money to take care of their family.
5.6 Billion in profits for BP in the first quarter of 2010 but yet they could not foresee this disaster coming knowing full well that their safety measures we're not going to work. At one point before the explosion the well did not pass crucial test's that would identify there's going to be problem. But what has me pissed off is that there is no oversight committee on the oil industry. I know that businesses are about their profits to survive but that should not be the case because safety should be the at the forefront of their plans.
In ending this thought there should not be anymore offshore drilling now or any drilling in the future. Even with those safety measures being in place i just think that we do not need any more oil spills like these to happen again. Our livelihood depends on our land and we would not be able to do what we need if we filled it with oil. My thoughts and prayers go out to those families that will be affected because of this disastrous avoidable spill. One thing i want them to know is that reemain strong for that americans will come out on top even when faced with something that looks like it will never end.
