Most of those who stand to see a windfall in this were at least
moderately comfortable prior to the spill, and the biggest windfall will, again,
go to those at the upper levels of the pyramid.

The biggest windfall will go, as always, to big oil. Everybody
else will get screwed the same way Alaskans got screwed after
Exxon Valdez.

What is funny, in a really perverse sort of way, is watching you
leading the apologia/cheering section for big oil here on a
fly fishing group. Most folks are concerned about the environment
and the people of the Gulf while your biggest concern appears
to be that BP should be able to lawyer their way out of spending
more than a pittance in compensation for the biggest environmental
disaster in US history. Like I said, perverse.
