To be honest, I'm sick of hearing about Bp's shareholders. They failed dramatically in their responsibility in ensuring their company followed U.S. law, safety rules and regulations. YOUR responsibility, as a shareholder, is more than cashing a damn check...Your company had just ruined the second largest fishery in the continental United States, saturated the Gulf coastline and wetlands with crude oil and you really think Americans give a fat rat's ass about your dividend...really?
You reaped the profits while your company breaks our laws, ignores our safety rules, kills our workers and then you have the nerve to say, "we want our dividends".
I have little faith in my government's ability to get the people of the Gulf coast made whole by Bp, we have too many cowards in Washington to expect that, but I can, in my own way show my distaste for everything Bp stands for by not buying a single drop of Bp gasoline and I urge other Americans to do the same.
