Ho hum. Another oil spill.
This time in Montana on the Yellowstone River. Granted it was from a broken pipe and not from an oil rig blowing up and was probably caused by debris hitting the pipie and not as big of a disaster as BP's(though big enough to make the news). Seems to me they should have protected the pipe better. Anyway, drill baby drill! 04-rock

Should we stop build cars because some of them crash? Or maybe we should stop building houses because some of them burn. How about if we stop getting married because we might end up with divorces.

What would you propose instead?

Keep in mind that nothing comes without risks.

Thank god they get tax breaks too. So they can afford the expense of cleaning up after themselves.

I would laugh but unfortunately, I suspect that the government will probably end up doing much of the cleanup at taxpayer expense.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say. Are you saying Montana should use stimulus money to clean up the spill instead of having Exxon pay for cleanup(which they would only do a half-assed job anyway if they did use their money)? I would hate to think that is your position but it wouldn't surprise me.
