Has The World Gone Mad?

Hello?

Is anyone out there?

Doesn't anyone care that was an oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20th and there has been and continues to be approximately 210,000 gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf A DAY?

A DAY!

Where in the hell was the government oversight? We have all of these regulations into place (supposeably) to make sure that these things don't happen.

And now that it has happened, what is the government doing to push BP to contain it?

And where was BP's safety measures to prevent this from even occuring in the first place? Are we so focused on making the dollar that we have thrown out good common senses?

Folks, if our water supply is tainted, we are screwed as a society. SCREWED.

Even George Washington has the foresight back in the 1700's as a young man to outlaw pigs being in the river because it was the people's water suply and he knew that if they got into the water and dirtied it up, it would be undrinkable and the people would be in a heap of trouble.

People better wake up and realize that everything comes with a price and the price of being apathetic and uneducated about things is what is going to be this country's downfall.

There are so many people, corporations and government entities at fault here. Stop playing the blame game and get the oil spill stopped. Now.



Ken said it best. This is what happens when you allow the fox to guard the chicken house. (Anyone remember Halliburton Inc. and Dick Cheney's connection? Yeah. They're involved.)

Seriously. The American people deserve better than this.

And for our part, we need to be discussing these issues instead of worry about Jon and Kate Makes 8, who is he dating now or how her hair was fixed on DWTS.
