Seriously...

How do these people sleep at night, Having taken so many lives; So many innocents have died, And still B.P. thrives; Do they even have a conscience, In their tiny little minds; Do you think they’re all retarded, Or maybe they’re just blind; What the h3ll were they doing, For two months trying to stop the flow; Can anyone tell me please, Cause I’d really like to know; By now I could’ve fixed it, With duct tape and bailin’ wire; What the h3ll would they have done, If the damn thing had caught fire; Would they have just sat there, Like stupid little men; Or if the pipe had just collapsed, What would they have done then; I’m sorry but come on people, Pull your head out of your rear; Is it too much to ask, you think, For them to disappear.

I liked it and agree. To answer your question though to why they thrive, it is political. Rich politicians like Bush Sr and Jr own A LOT of stock in oil companies. And today people don't care about the animals they kill, as long as thier pockets get filled. Its disgusting, honestly. And I like the duct tape and bralin wire part.
