It is day 47 with oil still gushing out of the pipes of the gulf of Louisiana.
BP must have hired Moe, Larry & Curley to stop the flow and as you might guess, it is still gushing at a rapid rate. They couldn't cap it or plug with a "stop kill" (piling mud on the break) so they decide to cut the pipe to put a cap on it. Of course, the saw gets stuck and it is now gushing at more rapid rate.
F&*%ing retards...
Seriously, I am wondering if this was all indeed an "accident".
I am not one of those conspiracy theorists but it just seems to be the perfect inside terrorist job.
Just think about it for a second.
Here we are trying to move away from imported oil but the pipes and drill sites he offshore the US do not have fail safe valves. For criss sake, even our aspirin bottles have safety caps.
Something is wrong there.
Secondly, why did it take this long to even think about doing something about it?
I can not imagine the devastation this will cause not only to our fragile wildlife but to our drinking water, the mangroves, fisheries, struggling economy, tourism etc..
We will drown in our own oil.
Saddam Hussien blew up his own oil rigs in his country. It was dark for years and rained oil. God knows how that has affected the wildlife and long term health of the Iraqi people.
Oil.
I can't watch the news watching birds flounder in in the muck. It makes me sick to my stomache.
It takes 4 volunteers 45 minutes to clean one bird. How much petroleum residue is in that bird's system? Will she survive? Will the toxins get passed on to her eggs?
That was one bird.
A lucky one.
BP had this ad on television showing a green Japanese Anime style 'happy" guy 'promoting a green lifestyle.
What a f*&^%ing joke...
How do we get away from this oil addiction? It would be great if we could get away from being so dependant. We would'nt have to deal with these crazy Arab countries anymore for one thing.
Could we harness hydrogen power or would take us down another scary path?
God.. we got to do something.
We do, but I am at a loss as to what. I hate that helpless feeling. I do, however, feel this wasn't an accident. I think someone was trying to prove a point about offshore drilling, and it got horribly out of hand.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anyone in their right mind trying to prove a point that way. It wouldn't have gotten any attention if it didn't get out of hand. Too much time and money spent on how to off shore drill and not on how to do safely. No profit was seen in the safety piece. They have the technology to get a camera down there however so we can watch our country die. wildlife, humans as ground water and air get contaminated as well, and our economy. I'm so upset about this I can hardly talk to anyone about it. Maybe this will finally be the push to those in power to focus on our renewable resources.
