If you'd like to learn how to be a CEO or president of a company and be made of teflon, watch the BP hearings going on right now on C-Span. The BP CEO cannot answer any questions, of course, due to legal this and that. Whatever he says can be used against BP in a court of law, so, of course, he's mute on everything.
"I wasn't privy to that" or "Not sure about that" is all he can say. He also has this smug look about him and a smirk on his face. You're kidding, Mr. BP, right? You're hurting the environment for you, your family, their children and all of ours and this is the best we can get outta you?
I'm no screaming environmentalist or activist by any stretch of the imagination, but really? This is horrible. Legal stuff be damned, we need this situation fixed. Forget these pointless hearings, just sue the hell outta them and clean up that oil spill NOW. Close off the leak permanently. Profits and BP be damned. Clean up the coastline, try (in vain) to fix the environmental damage they have done and move on with life.
Hurricane season is upon us and we are a mess over there. I don't want to think of what a hurricane season will do to stir up the oil and mess we already have.
All I can do personally is fret. Pray. Wonder. And be amazed at the horrific mess of a job BP has done to everyone on this planet. I also feel horrible for the folks that live around that affected area. Haven't they been through enough?
Lord have mercy on us all. We are making a mess of the world.

I know! It just makes me sick. There is noooo reason why in this day anhd age, with our technology we couldn't do away with any need for oil. Solar, geothermic, whatever! We are not still living in the caveman days. So much has changed since the first "horseless carriage" ran on fossil fuel. Screw the money and let's move on already!!! The ocean, the air and everything else suffers from our use of that junk. Ugh. It makes me so mad. )=
