I wonder, did the GCCF’s methodology take into account the opening of the Bonnet Carre?

When Ken Feinberg was fending off criticisms of his methodology, he inferred the process was open to alterations should conditions in the Gulf require it so…well, in the case of the oyster business, looks like we’ll soon find out if that was true because for them, the conditions have changed. With the swelling of the Mississippi River, no doubt many of you are aware of … Continue reading I wonder, did the GCCF’s methodology take into account the opening of the Bonnet Carre?

100,000 Cheri Foytlins…

For over a year now, ever since the oil spilled, the Gulf Coast has suffered from a deluge of promises that have been left unfulfilled. We hear talk of making things right, of actions not words, various members of Congress and a President declare their disgust with British Petroleum but all the same, pass no bills to change the unfortunate status quo and make it any safer. Ken … Continue reading 100,000 Cheri Foytlins…

Feinberg’s revised rules: the good and the bad…

By putting ourselves below everyone, we're building in a defense mechanism. Protecting against real engagement. By imagining that no one wants us, that all others are so different from us, we're privileging our own point of view.

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have the chance of maltreating someone.
