Reply #74: It's banned in Britain. Is the British Government hysterical? [View All]

There are enough reports of it being dangerous that it should be banned.

By attempting to defend its use, despite these reports, you are doing what BP did when they claimed their drilling policies were safe, despite all the warnings that they were not. 11 people died because BP lied, and because of those who defended and rationalized their claims for them.

BP has zero credibility. And it appears that our government gets its information from corporations like them.

It would not have been difficult to assign to the NAVY the job of being prepared for something like this, to create our own experts, all it takes is education and experience.

Instead this government ignored BP's abysmal safety and human rights record and left the national security of this country in their hands. Because a threat like this is a national security threat.

Either we are wholly owned by Big Business, in which case it explains the lack of preparedness for such a threat. Or we have had the most incompetent government for decades now, in the history of modern democratic nations.

I think it is the former as no government is this incompentent.
