Protesters from the Greenpeace group are seen on a balcony at the BP headquarters in central London Thursday May 20, 2010. The men climbed on the balcony and attached a flag with the company's altered logo with 'oil' and the words 'British Polluters' alongside it to protest the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Seriously, wtf is the point of setting up protests when all these people who are complaining about environmental destruction could put their effort into cleaning up the oil spill?
It seems that complaining about it instead of doing anything about it is more important. Plenty of time to complain and fix the regulation issues AFTER ITS CLEANED UP. 200% of all effort should be in CLEANING not complaining.

So there's no point in protesting against the criminals who jumped on Cheney's deregulation specifications and ended up spilling oil all over the gulf of Mexico? No? No point in shaking one's fist then?
When a bully knocks a child to the ground does it not make sense that the child would be pissed? Would you expect the kid to say "well, it's alright I won't be mad, it's my responsibility to clean off these scrapes and bruises and that's all."
And why is it the prostestors' responsibility to do the cleaning? I would think if you were really into the slashing of veils, slasherofveils, that you would be pissed at the multinational conglomeration with billions of dollars at their disposal.

If a bully knocks a child down, are you more interested in making sure the child is ok, or reprimanding the bully?
Personally, I would pick the child up and then worry about the other kid.
Yes it is their responsibility. That's why they've put billions and billions into cleaning it already. But what about the inspections that never took place? Why did the rig get safety awards only months prior to the accident? Oops?
There's a point in shaking your fist and recovering damages. But plenty time to do that, right now we need someone with more maturity and effacity to help do something about it instead of sitting on their thumbs going, "well, its that guy's fault. Let him deal with it."
I see what you are saying. It makes sense. IMHO you and I actually are looking at two sides of the same coin. You are right and so am I. The kid that was knocked down needs to be attended indeed, but someone needs to be shaking their fist at the bully too.
