How Soon Until the Free Market Stops the Oil Spill?
Take over BP and put who in charge? Selected by whom? And how far down from the top would you go putting government-picked people in; would you replace the people who have failed at the oil face? With whom?
     Still, it is not a bad idea: but why just temporary? Once the government has stuffed the company, why give it back to the shareholders. Why not sell it to a crony, as they would in Russia, or give it to a relative to run, as they would in Venezuela or Zimbabwe
    Of course, you are probably right: all 80,000 workers at BP believe that is is okay to destroy the environment, as long as they get paid.
