Too Busy Being Green, The Final Chapter

Well, looks like BP's pudding is cooked. BP will be getting out its checkbook in short order to pony up for what will certainly be a number of wrongful death, environmental damage, and sundry other charges that they will surely have to make recompense for.

As Lord Browne pranced around the globe pretending that British Petroleum wasn't an oil company and as they ran those insufferable commercials, what they weren't, in truth, was a responsible company. People are dead, the environment has been fouled and an industry striving to demonstrate its considerable technological prowess and lauadable safety record has been set back years at the worst possible time.

Guys like Browne and the ossified do-nothings on the Board of Directors at BP are the types of capitalists that make this capitalist cringe. They give a bad name to all and set back the greater notion of liberty grounded in free enterprise.

Bloody idiots. Your bad days ahead are well-deserved.

Part I here, Part II here, Part III here.
