I friended artist Richard Thomas Scott on Facebook, I like his work. In a relevant link on his wall, I had this to say, which I realized is pretty much all I have to say on the matter.
The only possible good that can come from this corporate blunder is a re-evaluation by the US supreme court of their recent decision to grant equal rights to corporations as individuals.
An individual would obviously have sole blame, have criminal charges against him, undergo sentencing and do time. Yet how can a corporation be immune to due punitive process, while retaining the same benefits?
The US congressional hearing from BP corporate is a joke. Its a show of the political establishment to make a display of outrage under the pretense of representing the people, a show to please an angry mob. They're in fact powerless to do anything about what's been done.
