[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 742709, member: 22662"] If you really believe that, then you simply refuse to believe any fact that doesn't fit you ideological view. It was the lack of regulation that allows oil companies not to have thought through this "worst case scenario" and had suitable plans to deal with it. It was the lack of regulation that allows oil companies to forgo the relief well that is still over a month away. It is a lack of regulation when the MMS not only sells the leases, but also "regulates" the industry setting up an obvious conflict of interest. It is a lack of regulation for the governments of both Bush and Obama to let inept and corrupt personel run the MMS. Yes in a simplistic, ideological, black and white capitalistic system, regulation is shunned. But our system is far more complex than that. If one thing can be gleaned from the past 18 months, it is that the markets will not regulate themselves anymore than a 747 will fly itself without complex input by both man and computer. [/QUOTE]
