Shark in the Water

And who might this shark be? Any guesses? Anyone? Yes, the first blog I am posting is on this tragedy which I am sure plenty of people have already blogged about, but it is a BIG deal. BP is currently our shark in the water. This oil spill didn't claim just 11 lives. It claimed millions, probably billions of lives and they are acting as if that is not a big deal, well, atleast a big of a deal as it really is. I mean think about all the families out there who were struggling because of the economy as it was. Now that many more people are out of work and the industry they know is no longer there. Does BP have any idea that because making a buck was more important than the safety of the crew members and of the Gulf of Mexico itself, how many billions of dollars they have just lost because they did not want to spend the couple of millions of dollars the make sure that the rig was safe to work on? Or how many billions of dollars are now lost in the Gulf not only of their money but of many of the citizens of the southern states whose livelihood was in the Gulf? It's amazing to see how bad they don't want to take responsibility for their actions when that very concept itself is costing them more then they really know.

Now lets take a look at the lies. How many times has BP try to manipulate the truth? How many false estimates will BP give us before they give us an accurate one? And why in the hell are they being allowed to give us this hoopla? Don't get me wrong, we need oil. Without energy the world will go back to the Dark Ages where everyone is stealing from and killing each other just to survive. But isn't this a big enough sign to tell us that we need alternatives? That America should be investing more in other energy resources and not more in oil just like the rest of the developed world? If we don't start now we are on a sure fire path to self destruction and what took this country roughly three centuries to build to be where we are today to go down in only decades. This should be alarming everyone around the world. But forget about the should this and should that. I am no scientist by any means, but there are plenty out there and there are plenty of scientists in training, USE YOUR HEADS AND COME UP WITH A PLAN! We can only throw so much money at this disaster, but without an adequate plan that money to stop this spill is meaningless.
