We're not getting gas at BP anymore, I know it's a small number, but if everyone did it, BP would be screwed.
Uhhh...boycotting BP Gas will not do anything but make small business owners go broke. BP doesn't own many if any of the BP gas stations.
I'm sure you have a point there.
It just has suck written all over it
Is the leak still happening? I hear so much about the attempts to fix it but never hear if its fixed.
I heard that as well, but don't have a source.Hi) i heard that link is almost fixed
NEW ORLEANS – The oil has stopped. For now. After 85 days and up to 184 million gallons, BP finally gained control over one of America's biggest environmental catastrophes Thursday by placing a carefully fitted cap over a runaway geyser that has been gushing crude into the Gulf of Mexico since early spring.
Though a temporary fix, the accomplishment was greeted with hope, high expectations — and, in many cases along the beleaguered coastline, disbelief. From one Gulf Coast resident came this: "Hallelujah." And from another: "I got to see it to believe it."
If the cap holds, if the sea floor doesn't crack and if the relief wells being prepared are completed successfully, this could be the beginning of the end for the spill. But that's a lot of ifs, and no one was declaring any sort of victory beyond the moment.
The oil stopped flowing at 3:25 p.m. EDT when the last of three valves in the 75-ton cap was slowly throttled shut. That set off a 48-hour watch period in which — much like the hours immediately after a surgery — the patient was in stable, guarded condition and being watched closely for complications.
I think Bush and Halliburton get blamed for things that are just silly.

I shouldn't care about US politics b/c I'm not a US citizen, but you're still the most powerful and influential country in the world, so, many people watch what's happening in your country.
I'm sure the Bush administration was all nice, fluffy and with little smiling teddy bears all around ... sugar coated with icing on top!
A place to debate everything and anything!
