Another point is how this security failure wasn't detected by those who are in charge to check if companies are fulfilling their obligations...

I had heard that the current administration actually gave BP passes when it came to regulatory compliance, so it could be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Indeed, wait and see

Try another one :  😉Ok I changed it coz the previous seemed to be too ... easy

I will guess a Cathar castle in France....possibly Ch?teau de Peyrepertuse?

You are too strong ... Well done !!

The 500-euro note is being withdrawn from sale in the UK. As banknotes that everybody knows exist but few ever see, they are known to many as…a) Bin Ladensb) Yetisc) Garbos

This leads into the oil slick because of the authoritative methods being contemplated to ?punish? BP for the accident that is a result of the American thirst for petroleum and the products derived from it.  The best one I have heard is a proposal to fine oil companies 1 year?s profits for oil spills.  Who is really at fault for this accident?  And it was an accident; no one could have foreseen the sequence of events that led to the blowout.  Accidents do still happen and there is an element of risk associated with just about everything we do.  What is missing in all the finger pointing is any meaningful discussion of the extraordinary efforts being made to lessen the impact of this spill.  Everybody, especially the media, wants this to be fixed almost before it happened.  They are indeed going to turn this into Obama?s Katrina and as much as I dislike admitting it, he and his administration probably did everything their procedures said they should do just in with FEMA in 2005.  BP has been trying to get on top of this since it happened.But the effort to punish Evil big oil will continue.  If I were an oil company I would be seriously considering boycotting the American market for a few months just to show how much power they can potentially wield.  What do you think would happen if the oil companies quit selling America oil for only 2-3 months?  Going after the oil companies is a perfect example of biting the hand that feeds you.

The device meant to stop oil leaking from a Gulf of Mexico well after last month's rig explosion was faulty, US Congressional investigators have said.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8679090.stm As long as oil companies or others are disregarding security or other legal obligations, there is no objective reason not to fine them. Another point is how this security failure wasn't detected by those who are in charge to check if companies are fulfilling their obligations...

It surprises me that while Fascism has been soundly rejected by modern society, Communism gets more or less a free pass, even though the number of deaths under the latter were likely greater than under the former in the 20th century.  I don't get it.

Perhaps because Communists survived and Nazis died ...  :-

too easy !
