We are a country that needs oil and oil by products. Yes off shore drilling needs to be done but in a safe manner. Did BP cut corners yes and need to be charged criminally for it. But to say we should stop is lunacy. Relying on and supporting the cheap oil of the middle east is insanity. Albert Einstein is credited for saying
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Our government needs to do it's job. If the last few years proves anything we have a bureaucracy that isn't working. From lack of oversight on Wall Street, banking, investment companies, to housing crisis, and now no true oversight to these companies. This is not a democrat or republican issue. Both are failing the American people, it's about those who job it is to oversee these industries know their job and do it.
