Seriously?
Just when you think it's the world running a muck you find that it's not the world it's the people who are running the world that are running a muck. Big corporations and big government agencies have proved that bigger is not only not better but is in most cases not responsible or holds no one responsible.
Ok, I know I said I was going to stay on media topics. But this story, while it does pop up in the media, still deserves more attention than it's getting right now.
Too many people have their fingers in the till on this one. Too many boondoggles, too many bad promises and clearly no sense of simply right and wrong.
Folks in the Gulf Coast and around the rest of the country should be out protesting. This catastrophe needs to be made right. We need answers and we need people held accountable. No more finger pointing.
Hasn't the Gulf area suffered enough? First Hurricane Katrina, now this? It's unimaginable.
If you can help, please contact the Sierra Club or some other environmental group to help save the environment the many species that may not recover from this disastrous oil spill.
Boycott BP. Do not provide financial support for this company this includes Castrol, Arco, Aral, am/pm, Amoco, Wild Bean Cafe and Safeway Gas. Join the Facebook Boycott bp Group which provides news updates as well.
Lastly, it's time to let the government know that the time for usage of alternative sources of fuel is now, not years from now. It needs to be a priority. We need to stop pandering to the big oil companies and start seriously looking for alternatives.
Thanks for listening. As you know, I think this is an important situation, I do not typically discuss these types of situations but this article just made a bad situation even more deplorable.

Politically, I think this is just the tip of the iceberg....an unwatched government left alone for too long will eventually wreak havoc. Everyone in bed (literally) with everyone else, no safety reports- unless you count the ones the oil companies filled out in pencil and the inspectors wrote over in pen, officials being paid off to deter regulation, and now the Gulf is in danger and the human race has been challenged.
Those we elect get something out of the deal (campaign contributions, hush money etc), investors get something out of the deal (more profits make for happy investors- where's your money invested?), and of course the corporations make out big time on the deal and what do the rest of us get? Jobs? Cheaper gas? Personally, I am not willing to allow corporations to destroy the earth in order to keep a few more people employed or to get more miles to my gallons. We have "tea parties" angry about too much government when they should instead be appalled by too much government corruption. A magnifying glass needs to be taken to everything the Bush administration touched and everyone all the way up the line should be held accountable for this and everything else they find. Of course, who will hold the magnifying glass?
