Surely you not patronizing a BP station are you?
Come on now, they didnt ask for this to happen. If they end up fighting the clean up bill, then it'll be a different story.
Sorry Tom, but in a very direct manner, they DID "ask for this to happen", because by some initial eyewitness reports from some of the surviving workers on that rig, the managers responsible for the safety and proper operation of said oil rig had circumvented more than a few of the standard operational safety procedures in order to expedite the drilling process and get "their" oil.
And don't forget, 11 mean and women lost their lives on the "Deepwater Horizon" oil rig due to this alleged rush for profits, in addition to what it's done and continues to do to the environment down there.
However, if you're referring to the proprietor of this or any of the many BP gas stations which dot this country, yes, I'm sure "they" didn't ask for this to happen, and yes, I do kind'a feel sorry for them possibly taking the brunt of the public's ire at BP's higher ups apparent culture of "profits over all"!
(uh huh...and I hope all those higher ups even remotely responsible of that particular "culture" get the friggin' BOOK thrown at 'em after this is all said and done!!!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
