Oil Spill - Page 10

Sitasmom,

You, I believe suffer from a lack of vision. If you could start to grasp the bigger picture, your understanding would begin to dawn, and if you are not lacking empathy for living things great and small, you too would be quite emotional. A very proper response in this unprecedented situation.

What I find stunning about this whole fiasco is that there was never a contingency plan to deal with a situation such as has arisen. Sure there were safeguards - such as the blow-out preventer - but prudence would dictate that there needed to be a fail-safe plan for what would be done in the event these safe-guards did not work.

So what we have is a situation that deep sea drilling is permitted but there was never a Plan B to deal with a catastrophe such as has occurred.

I understand that the only real answer is for the relief wells which will not be completed until August so unless the "top-kill" and "junk-shot" works we are looking at oil continuing to gush for the next sixty days at least.

The other point that was made yesterday is that the oil now making shore and the wet-lands is what gushed out in the first days of the problem - there are 30+ days of oil that is yet to make it to shore of Louisiana and other states.

It is nothing short of a tragedy and any attempt to down-play it and the effect it is having on the livelihoods of people and the eco-system is just plain insensitive and ignorant.

Were in the news.
 


Big oil, Black gold, Power and money is the price of your soul,
Oil Drilling is making a killing. But we can change your mind,
 and now it's a race against time.

Anybody who ever grew up there or enjoyed those waters,
knows what a tragedy it is. Ironically the location is where
the big oil guys meet. Right outside their window.

Who is bigger the President or the Oil Companies?

The Oil Companies of course.

For Wolfin,

















Couldn't help it.
Ya gotta find humor where ever you can.

Moons.

everytime I hear that song, 

I always hear, "out of the ground came a woman in the nude"

But l loved that show as a kid, even though it's from before I was born.

Wolfin,
the dogs are fine, one's coming into heat and I spend a lot of time rotating them from place to place to keep them apart.

I've been keeping my distance but I still come around.

How's things with you?

Moons.
