re: #282 Rightwingconspirator

Exxon had to pay. So will BP. Paying never ever stops the argument. It just changes from “how” to “how much”.

Your point being?

And Exxon stonewalled for years in court, trying to blame the Valdez on the drunken captain they hired and failed to fire. And then went to court again and again to have the judgment amount reduced.

BP’s CEO is saying they won’t do that. I’ll wait to see what the shareholders have to say about it. My guess is he’ll get sacked in favor of a lawyer and the thing will spin out pretty much like it did with Exxon.
