re: #362 Obdicut

Well, if BP really is limited to $75 million in damages, there is going to be an absolutely unprecedented anti-corporate shitstorm. Because in this case, you see, a corporation was evil.

even if they tried to keep it to their maximum liability, their actual liability is

(total cleanup costs) + (75million in related punitive damages to affected parties)

which is still much better than 75million TOTAL damages.

not that it stopped several different democratic congressmen from faraway states from misstating the fact…but hey…they’re just trying to catch up to the AGW republicans.

(i hate it when my political house is 99% glass…makes the sarcasm less fun…)
