Q: Actually, BP is not as much of a culprit as popular opinion is leading you to believe. Reaction over the oil spill is a case of misdirected anger--there were no significant government regulations to prevent deepwater drilling. If we're going to play the blame game, blame the government, not the capitalistic paradigm. And, too, BP is managing the crisis extremely well, so much so that people will eventually refer to this disaster as the new model for crisis management.
