Your view points are valid but shortsighted.
As a child of an aging parent with Alzheimer's I am forced to intercept my mothers mail on a daily basis to curtail the overwhelming onslaught of solicitations arriving in her mailbox every day. She is responsible for attracting many of the lobbyists and non-profit groups that hound her daily. Having been brought to tears by their sob stories and tales of doom checks have been written, some however have even gone so far as to take a small donation check she has written and turn it into an automatic monthly withdrawal from her account without her consent. Through her bank we have stopped the withdrawals but unfortunately we have been unsuccessful in making them stop the mailings. I have even gone so far as to mail them notification of her passing and demanded that she be removed from their mailing lists but to no avail, the deluge continues. This in my opinion falls under Elder Abuse and should be punishable by law. I have no facts at hand but I suspect that the vast majority of the success from all direct marketing mailings comes from this group of citizens, the elderly, the ones who should have our protection from such scams but access to any kind of 'cease and desist' policy does not exist. If we continue to protect the interest of the 'Corporate Individual' over the protection of the Individual Citizen without exception we as a society are in for a very dark future.
Here's an ironic parallel I see. They could have gotten away with it if it was done with skill, by someone with enough knowledge. But I've seen a few shots and it's pretty clumsy.
So this seems like their drilling perhaps? Just because one can afford a tool doesn't mean one can use it correctly or with skill or for the "right" purposes.
Frankly I also see this taking place via the heavy-handed-enforcement 4th branch of our govt. which is above the law. Because they can spy on us they do. Because they have guns, they shoot at whatever. Since they hold a hammer, everything is a nail. But their judgement, critical thinking abilities, and ability to communicate and share, often seem sorely lacking.
From the start, BP has proven to be inept, uncaring and selfish. Apart from the uncountable lives (animal, plant and and human) that it has already destroyed with the millions of gallons of oil it has already spewed in to the Gulf, one can only imagine what long term ills and numbers of dead lie ahead through their over use of even more chemicals to help solve their problems.
The Gulf's already dead, whether their cap continues to work or not. Let's hope BP's clean-up efforts don't make things even worse for us, 50 years down the line!
Hey twiddle-bum, read this, and shut your mouth:

There are plenty of CITED references there for you. We all know this already, so it's probably about time you did so you can stop embarrassing yourself publicly. Oh wait, you're an anonymous coward.... figures.
Only an idiot, or someone with tobacco interests would post crap like this.... which are you? Gettin' paid are you? Shameful, there's a place reserved for you in hell.

Former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper just wrote a column touching on this: SWAT and the Drug War: License to Kill.
