At what point do you consider being alarmed appropriate? Maybe if you lived there you would be alarmed, like people who bother to make these videos.
That oil can't just be shoveled up like snow, and nobody knows when it will stop coming, either. It's deep in the sand. I've posted other video of that in Destin. The hairbrained comments about how easy this is to clean up are just stupid beyond belief. The time to contain the oil is BEFORE it gets in the marshes and on shore, and that could have been and could be done. That doesn't meet the corporate-gov't objective, though. That won't help get cap & trade (which BP helped write and supports) passed. This is an environmental 9/11 and there are agendas behind the destruction.
Also, you unfeeling, sociopathic fuckers need your faces shoved in that oil. Maybe then you might get some empathy for the marine life. Then again, prolly not.
You are correct about one thing. This can indeed by analogied to an Environmental 9/11. Just like with 9/11, either elements of the government were sympathetic and allowed the lapse in the quality of the operations on the rig which led to the initial accident (Unlikely). Or more likely there was a specific effort to thwart quality efforts and direct action by actions of our government to blow the well (More Likely). There were gov. inspectors on the rig hours before it blew, the rig won an award for saftey by Obama's admins, and employees on the rig heard their managers yelling, over the phone, back at BP Execs saying "we cant do that, that's crazy."
Either way, just like with 9/11, there was criminality here, executed by a few, directed by a few more powerful, in order to carry out an agenda.
I say this to also say, this again means that the direction of our anger should not be focused on corporations or the existence of business, but at those criminal elements in our goverment/corporate alliance that actively caused this. Yes accidents happen in the course of business, because business is run by humans. But this was criminality that needs to be investigated.
Too bad the investigators are also the instigators.
It is to they you should direct your comments of "sociopathic fuckers" and it is they who should have their faces in the oil. Unfortunately this will not happen, but they will get their come-uppance one day, either in this life or the next, or both.
The liberty minded individuals in this forum are not your enemies. And the lack of emotion yet demonstration of stern attention and calm contemplation does not denote the lack of care or concern over the situation.
Becoming either panicked or frantically impassioned about any issue helps in neither case.
Again, some of us "assholes" have been pointing out repeatedly that this wouldn't have even happened if government regulations and inducements had not pushed the oil companies into the deepwater over the shallow. But I guess you're too busy on your soapbox to listen to that.
