How about a class action suit against BP for emotional distress?
This class is for tree-huggers and folks who actually care about Mother Earth, who are all flipping the fuck out right now.

2. I was thinking about this this afternoon!
Why can't U.S. citizens band together and sue BP for destroying a major tourist area and depriving us of an important food source? Seriously. How is that another country can destroy another's country's major fishery and walk away??

4. Oh, I mean after that one has been paid off.
I'm talking about them giving us lots of their money for making us all nuts.

If my current state of mind over this is any indication, they need to start digging deeper in their pockets than the original well.

13. MIHOP or LIHOP?
Not intentional. There's no benefit for them to have done that. (Unless shit is way more fucked up than I ever imagined).
