I think he got lost looking for the "Something Positive" thread. Which the BP oil spill is not.

I thought it was funny when Angrist posted the thing about Germy's band in here - because it's a terribly thread to do it in - so I was going off of that. It was a slow day. |

Re: BP Oil Spill
I heard a Louisiana judge overturned Obama's decision to put a moratorium on off shore drilling over 500 feet deep...
Apparently this judge has investments in the oil industry. Question: Why does this judge still have his job? Start taking names, Obama. |

The question is whether or not the executive branch has the authority to call a moratorium on oil drilling. I don't know he answer to that, but we'll never know until we start asking the right questions. Whether or not the judge has oil investments is not the right question. |

I wouldn't call an umpire corrupt if he reversed the call on the field [made by another umpire] - but I would call that umpire corrupt if he reversed the call on the field because he placed a bet on the game. |

Again, you are asking the wrong question. The question is whether or not the decision was legally sound. If it wasn't, then maybe you have a point. If it was, you don't. But until we answer that question, making accusations about the judge's motivation is pointless. While we are here, why not discuss the logic of the moratorium in the first place? While this accident was horrible, it is also exceedingly rare. Does it make sense to put all of these people out of work, and tie up millions in funds, to suspend an activity that the overwhelming evidence suggests is more than reasonably safe? There are nearly 4,000 oil rigs in the gulf alone, and this is the first disaster in how long? Calling a moratorium on all oil rig exploration based on one accident on one rig by one company is absurd, especially considering how stellar the safety records of the other oil companies have been. Its the equivalent of recalling all cars produced in the 70's because the Ford Pinto blew up. Its a political move, meant to placate the anger of the masses, not a policy based on reason. |
