You must be living under a rock and covered with oil if you haven't seen the public outry or the media coverage. Or maybe it's cause I actually live on the gulf coast where the oil is already on shore that it's all I see.
Our way of life is over. But no amount of coverage or outcry will change or stop it. The best we can do is try to get through it.
Locally, Alli it's getting coverage. BUT not NATIONALLY. I drive truck across country, Read National papers everyday, on the internet everyday... NOTHING compaired to Exxon Valeze, Katrina or other Disasters that have hit our country.
My questions are:
1.Why did it take this Administration over 30 Days to respond?
2.Why did BP and the Administration try to cover up the amount of oil being pumped into the Gulf?
3.Why did the Army Corps of Engineer's need to do an Environmental Impact Study BEFORE the State of Louisianna can build sand burms to PROTECT their Shores?
I can go on and on with questions, Unfortunately they are being asked in the wrong arena and I've heard no other pressing these issues...
As for "living under a rock or being covered with oil". I take GREAT offence to that. Out here it's even Difficult to have an Intelligent and informed conversation about the issue. People are NOT interested NOR are they informed as to the the Siverity of this issue. I drove across I-10 this weekend and the stillness, lack of wildlife and yes, with even the slight stench of oil in the air it was almost impossible to find an informed individual discuss or WANTED to discuss the subject.
I remember the Valdeze and the 24/7 coverage. The Environmentalist were ALL over the airways and print.
I remember Katrina and the 24/7 coverage. The Environmentalist and the "Bush Basher's" were ALL over the airways and print.
"Our way of life is over".
I heard that repeatedly after Katrina. In fact it's STILL prevelant in certain areas of New Orleans and surrounding areas. Just take a drive through.
Katrina was a "Natural Disaster".
This has man's hand "ALL" over it and People need to be held accountable. From the laborer who was taking a nap on his/her watch to the Engineer who was told there was an issue with a pressure relief valve or a leaking seal. On the Government, side from the inspector who turned his/her eye to the White House who failed to react in a timely manner.
Both BP and the Fed knew and KNOW the amount of crude being pumped out of that well. Why did they LIE and are STILL?
Let's all just roll over and play dead while our world is being destroyed....
