Where is the help? Fine BP everyday this thing keeps leaking, hit them where it hurts. I live near the coast and to think that our beautiful white sands, our wildlife and our people that make a living from fishing the Gulf is suffering kills me. Hard to watch the news,I cry for them!

I am a little pissed that the oil companies claim they had not prepared for this type of accident. Its the only kind of accident I thought you could worry about is an oil leak 1 mile underwater at 2300 psi in total darkness cold.

You enjoyed the world to the fullest and left a wake of destruction for those coming up behind you. Completely unable to recognize your selfish indungences caused these problems.

BBQDad.

considered….rejected. Your logic that you’re right because it’s supposedly obvious doesn’t prove anything.

You obviously don’t get the meaning of ‘screw up’. Chernobyle was a screw up, CFCs/BFCs were screw ups, World Wars were screw ups.
Most people don’t know how close we came to completely destroying our ozone layer, chance had it that CFCs were cheaper then BFCs.
No one cares anymore, past history. We screwed up, we moved on. The oil leak pales in comparison to the ozone layer and world
wars, so forgive me if I disagree that it’s obvious that you’re ‘right’.
I’ll believe you that we are unable to move on after a century of trying and failing and this somehow spells the extinction of our
species. I can say that our species has survived for tens of thousands of years, and come much closer to annihiliation then what
this ‘catastrophic blunder’ is threatening us with.
So yes, I maintain that ‘we screw up, we move on’. If you can’t move on, if you seriously can’t move forward, then do like I said in
my first post…grow up.

Pay? I wish. Wouldn’t that be perfect for a conspiracy theorist….the guy who disagrees is being paid by big oil or big bank.

How much does it pay to go around tearing down bloggers attempting to post truth (as nearly as possible)?

I do, however, agree, that we bear some responsibility by not demanding other *workable* fuel sources.

I also think there’s a lot more to this story than what is being reported. The whole North Korea submarine torpedoing the rig is a bunch of bunk. Do bear in mind the Goldman Sachs profited greatly by this disaster on the derivatives market. Whatever was the cause, the rats knew something was coming.

His views sound like something peddled by the ol’ Rush man. The Earth can only take so much. Man in his hubris has fouled the planet, creating a toxic sphere that will eventually be uninhabitable.

You said: “We screw up, we move on.”

I would submit for your consideration the proposition that what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico goes far beyond the category of “screw up.”

It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer, that I am right about this, because we are completely unable to “move on.”

No, Spencer, my friend, there will be no “moving on” from this catastrophic blunder, this enormous disaster.

This is going to hurt. It is going to hurt the whole of North America. It is going to hurt a lot. It is going to hurt for a very long time.
