I don't believe that the U.S. should ever have allowed off-shore drilling to begin with; THAT would have been the ethical choice.

Trusting the ecosystem to big business is unethical, in my opinion. Business has conflicting priorities. And, frankly, Big business doesn't care if their profit is moral or not.

What ethical businesses are out there? BIG business, not small family business. When we know that not every person has morals or is ethical, why should we expect all businesses to be so?

We have laws that regulate some of the most extreme examples of personal immorality and unethical behaviors. We don't need to do the same for businesses?

Isn't whether or not to allow Big Oil to risk the planet's oceans an ethical decision in itself?
