my expectation, ace, is that one result of this fiasco is that the rules of the game are going to change. you can already see it starting--that's why i posted the article about the changes in liability cap legislation that's being proposed. i expect the rules around drilling are going to be tightened quite considerably. i expect that some of the tax laws will be changed for corporate persons if bp is not careful about how it manages it's "playing by the rules"....
truth be told, i'm not terribly optimistic about how far it'll go.
and that's not really my interest in the thread. i'm not particularly gathering this information around any explicitly political arguments. there are recurrent themes, questions that interest me, explanations that may arise from accumulation of information around them. i see this as tracking what is happening as much as an information flow as an oil flow.
whatever.
