BP Oil Disaster – ongoing
June 24th, 2010 | 
Author: No one has commented on my first post about this, but I’ll continue to post my thoughts, because this is very upsetting for me.
Watching as dolphins are being rescued (some not in time), looking at video of the once beautifully snow-white Pensacola beach being turned into an oily nightmare, hearing about a boat captain committing suicide because he can’t take care of his family anymore…
What are you doing about this, BP? How are you going to compensate? Newsflash – You CAN’T. All the money in the world can’t fix the horror that you’ve created here.
SHAME ON YOU!

I’m in Europe and we don’t get as much coverage of this as you guys are (obviously), but just from what you are describing – I am disgusted.
And in the end BP won’t even suffer that much from this. If there was justice in the world, the company would go bust for this.
It has to be the biggest company f*ck-up in the history of the world.
I agree with you. I just don’t want them to go bust before they pay for the clean up!
Pegs, the sad part about all this is it is not just marine life being risked and destroyed. And yes, I am just as upset about what this catastrophe is doing and will do to marine life of all forms, trust me.
People questioned why it took the White house 9 days to officially recognize the Gulf disaster and why it took Obama so long to sit down with BP to discuss what is (not??) being done. I suspect Obama was fearful BP would ask for their money back.
What about all of the toxic chemicals being used as dispersing agents? As these chemical blow ashore off the water, who is breathing the tainted air and who is going to suffer respiratory ailments? As rain moves through the area, what chemicals is the rain depositing on crops growing in the region? What will be the short-term AND long-term effects of benzene and Corexit exposure to all forms of life? There is already evidence the high levels of methane gas have created dead zones, areas where oxygen depletion is complete and living creatures have died.
As you can imagine, I feel BP must be held accountable for their errors and blunders. But where their accountability ends is the important question. And I suspect George Soros and his lackey, the Manchurian President Obama are the only ones who can provide an answer.
P.S. The reCAPTCHA phrases I needed to enter to post this were ‘political’ and ‘pigs’. Go figure…
