For real...I'm sick of hearing "We expect BP to take action."

FUCK BP, they aren't doing shit. Deprive them of their power and solve this ourselves...they obviously aren't going to get off of their greedy, lazy, fat asses and do anything. They're a disgrace to American business and the way we operate. Send them into the ground.

It would be great except for the fact that many would use oil products to get there and I believe that is the reason why oil is spilling into the gulf in the first place.. Man's need for oil.. BP should do something, I totally agree. but I am just as responsible for it as BP is.. And so are the bulk of us..

Unfortunately you're right. As it was said earlier, I think we all need to assess our use of fossil fuels and make a drastic change to relieve our pollution impact on our planet.

I think, instead of a protest, we should all get a bucket and soap and meet up at the gulf to start cleaning and take responsibility for what we have created

Great idea. I feel pretty terrible about my vacation in August and that I'll be flying on an airplane to get there...if I could take the money back I'd highly consider traveling to the gulf instead and getting involved.

Only if the fuckhead CEO of the company was there himself than maybe i would consider your idea ..and how would i get there walking or biking as to not use any oil :oops: :oops: you see there is no way to protest with out using some kind of petro ...

Exactly. We've become way too relient on it.

Seriously...

Electricity...

something, but we need it soon.

Criminal Negligence.

Apparently, they knew A YEAR AGO that this was possible.

New documents released over the weekend to the New York Times show that both BP and federal regulators at the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service had plenty of warning that the drilling operation at the Macondo well site was plauged with problems—dating as far back as June 2009. But despite known issues with the well and the blowout preventers, the operation continued until the April 20 blast.

One document reveals that on June 22, 2009, BP engineers noted concerns that the metal casing the company wanted to use on the well could collapse under high pressure. BP used the casing anyway, after overriding its own design and safety standards. Other documents released this week reveal that the company knew that there was "unlikely to be a successful cement job" on the site and that the casing would be "unable to fulfill M.M.S. regulations."

BP also knew that there were problems with the blowout preventer, or BOP, which was supposed to shut off the well in the event of an emergency. The BOP clearly failed to function following the explosion of the well, which has now spewed oil into the Gulf for 43 days. As the documents note, the BOP was found to be leaking fluids on at least three occasions prior to the blast, which would impair its ability to function. But because of the other known problems with the well casing—drilling mud falling into the well, sudden gas releases, and loss of "well control"—the company asked federal regulators at the Minerals Management Service to delay a
mandatory test of the BOP.

I would love to help the birds, I feel a kinship. On the news today I saw there is training going on here in Atlanta for clean up crews. It seemed not for the wild life but land clean up crews.Hazmat type training. It sounded like there is some big money available now. I hope those going are motivated by more than money.
I hope people won't just jump on the billion dollar money train and take advantage of another situation.
I'm worried that the destruction may be too much.

If you want to stop oil spills, don't use oil.. Kind of absurd, but it is the truth.. We all got us into this mess.. and if we all had to walk or bike to the gulf to spend a week cleaning the nature there, we might all say " damn, that really sucked. I am going to heavily cut back on my personal oil consumption so that maybe I will never have to do that again""
Think of it as punishment for all the years of pollution we are all responsible for..

Something I have not heard anyone on tv say is how many more reasons do we need to get with alternative energy before we actually do it? People kill for it. People start wars over it. It polluts the air. And now this. Alt. Energy will never happen because there is so much $$ in oil. Leave the fucking oil in the ground!
