The problem with apologies is that it doesn't reverse the damages. I think the oil industry should treat the way they conduct business with as much caution as the medical industry does. When things are done haphazardly it is absolutely devastating to everybody and everything. I felt sick to my stomach every time I saw a picture of a defenseless animal covered in oil; just waiting to die. The whole situation could have been avoided had they bitten the bullet and shut down operation after their inspection results came back with questionable data. This political cartoon epitomizes the corporate philosophy that apologizing makes everything better.
