Thank God for the "small" people, about whom BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg so devoutly cares. Now he's apologized for that remark, which simply greased the skids a little further for the Big Polluter of the Gulf.
From the Gospel of Luke, the greatest of us said this: "If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
At the risk of sounding a bit preachy, I might be bold enough to say that I am proud to be among the "small" people who are capable of great and noble deeds and thoughts. It seems that the apologies flow like so much crude these days from the "BIG" people. The small people have no need to apologize; even less do they need to hear empty expressions of regret from the "BIG" people who have made such a BIG mess of things.
$20 Billion itself is "small" when stacked up against the epic damage that has been cast upon the waters. Actions speak louder than words. Maybe these clueless executives should talk less and do more to clean up their act.
