the BP oil spill leak in the Gulf

I can't stop thinking about this 

ongoing disaster . It seems like 

every day, the estimates get 

bigger and bigger and bigger 

on just how much oil has been 

gushing into the sea.

I'm not even sure if it's a good 

thing that I can still be surprised 

by the lies, or outraged by 

the stupidity of it.

Part of me is still back at "what do 

you mean there's no "off" switch"? 

How do you spend all that money 

on drilling a hole with out making 

sure you can't turn it off?

How do you justify making all 

that money selling crude oil 

without making sure something 

like this doesn't happen?

It's been two months now. 

All that's clear is that these people 

did not have - and still do not have - 

clue one about how to deal with this. 

I keep hearing John Lennon's voice,

singing "How do you sleep?"

Blame Canada... again.

BBC News - US banks 'denied Oliver Stone access'

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone
has revealed how US banks refused
to co-operate with the making
of his Wall Street sequel Money
Never Sleeps.

Speaking at the Cannes film Festival,
he said: "The big banks were very arrogant, they wouldn't let us in."

He added that it was the Royal Bank
of Canada that stepped in and allowed them to film inside its buildings.

BP Oil all over the Gulf

It's been almost two months since crude oil started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. No one seems to know how much oil is being released every day, or how far it is going to spread.

What has become clear is that BP lied about the potential for disaster, and that they don't really have clue one about how to deal with it...

It's a horrible thing to watch, even from a great distance. Part of the horror is knowing that there are more of these installations off-shore all around the world.  

 

Were all of the drilling proposals based on half-truths? 

Do any of them have a working "off" switch?

Meanwhile, oil companies are lobbying all the time for right to drill more holes off more coasts...

... and meanwhile, the oil continues to "leak", and the oil continues to "spill", and the oil continues to gush out of the earth, and into the Gulf...
