Take a look at these pictures...
"the worst rig explosion in history"
" the worst environmental disaster"
These are the headlines on the news. These headlines are definitely true. These pictures show the nature of this disaster. Who is to blame? Some people say it is the Bush administrations fault because they drafted industry friendly regulations. Others say that Obama didn't do everything he could have and that this is his Katrina, and he's failing. And there is the group that says that it is the greedy oil companies fault (BP). They say this is the last straw! Know what I think? All of the above are correct and wrong at the same time!
You want to blame someone? Look in the mirror America! WE THE PEOPLE are dependent on oil! To drive our cars (fancy or not), to heat our homes, and to fuel our planes for our exotic get-away vacations! Shame on us to point the finger at everyone but ourselves! Without the demand, half of these companies wouldn't be drilling for oil, either offshore in America or overseas! It's not that these oil companies are greedy, it's that there is a demand for something, and there are things they have to do to provide it to the American people. Other than invading another country for their oil, there is only really one way to stop drilling period. We need to stop using oil. Outrageous? Maybe, but if you are truly devastated and appalled by whats going on in the Gulf of Mexico, then that's what WE THE PEOPLE must do! We need to help support research on alternate sources of energy and do what we must to have the government and the world notice that we are not totally selfish! So stop pointing the fingers at just BP, Bush, Obama....all of us are responsible and as intelligent beings, we need to stop for a minute and try to think of another way. I don't care what regulations were set, a disaster was bound to happen! Hopefully we can learn from this.
I have never claimed to be knowledgeable about politics or the environment, but I think this is so easy to see, and I can't believe that no one has mentioned this. Are we truly this blind?
Now fuck off! I need to turn on my AC and use all the power in my apartment!
