[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 742799, member: 22662"] Oh, Av, now I'm the one giggling at you! You may cling mightily to your faith in unregulated free market and in so doing find a way to absolve the oil companies of any wrong doing, but you are in a self-deluded tail spin on that one. Just try selling that one to the American public. Wait. I'll get the pop corn. Tell us all about how if we, as the government, would just get out of the way and let financials, the health care industry, big oil, and industry as a whole simply chase profit at any cost, we will all be better off. Lead in the paint? Tell the little brats not to eat paint. Sub-prime loans? Foreclosure will take care of that. The fact is that the very little regulation there is has stymied even larger problems. Consider this: If not for regulation, do you think BP would even bother cleaning up the mess or consider paying what small damages they have to the fishing industry? Giggle in your smugness and I'll giggle as you continue to try to explain how up is down and down is up and how much more fascinatingly brilliant the conservative free ideology is. Oh, goodness. I'm giggling so much I'm starting to feel like a little school girl! [/QUOTE]
