*mitigate the consequences of the releases that will continue for a while.*
Well, all bullshit aside- things are pretty much a forgone conclusion as far as the "It got away from us" dept. You really cant put the toothpaste back in the tube at this point. I think BP has been trying to 'mitigate' a bit of an oil spill. I'm not saying its the end of the world but lets be a little honest here. This is a fuck up and we all eat at the same table.I understand the quake and unfourtunate functions thereafter but this is everybodys deal. To say one entitiy will take charge of cleanup is just plain silly. Not yelling at /. this is going to need some serious out of the bar thinking.
