“First blame yourself”? Spoken like a true fool. The only reason oil is all around is because no other form of energy is as efficent, either in price, or by volume, as oil. It’s not us, so much as nature. And, let us remember, oil is natural. Balls of it wash up onto California shores all the time. They are a part of the ecosystem,
Personally, I don’t blame anyone for an accident. True, there are causes. At the same time, to think BP wanted this to happen is to suspend brain activity. To think they desired to lose revenue – from both the oil from the well being uncaptured, as well as the multi-billion, possibly trillion, dollar cleanup, is to be a short-sighted fool.
The question isn’t whether or not accidents happen. They will, period. It is what is done when the accident occurs. To date, we have discovered the following:
1. BP did not have a well thought out policy to address such an accident. Of course, they will be held financially responsible.
2. Obama and the feds have proven themselves incompetent. Not in stopping the leak, mind you. Rather, in respect to allowing and empowering the states to do their level best to control and stem the damage. Oil collection has been woefully slow, which has the effect of causing billions in further damage that could have been avoided. Not allowing the states to go after clean up solutions immediately show the incompetence of the feds, as well the White House’s fear of being made to look foolish by the governors. Now, Obama just looks foolish on his own.
And, while BP has to pay for its incompetence, who will pay for Obama’s? we the taxpayer, that’s who.
3. Reliance on the feds is a fools errand.
4. Obama cares more about the enviro lobby than he does the inhabitants of the affected states. That’s why, to him, shutting down oil production and immediately talking about lawsuits seems like a GOOD idea. What a moron!
This guy is an idiot, who has proven he has absolutely no business leading a city, much less a country.
– The debt has tripled.
– Healthcare is in the process of being destroyed, purposely.
– This fool used last night’s speech to tell us how, due to BPs oil spill, we all need to pay more in taxes.
– His unions are destroying this country, by attacking every city, county, state, and the federal government. And Obama is their little b!tch.
– The trial bar has been empowered to further destroy our lives, jobs, businesses, hospitals, doctors, and nearly every institution, by this clown.
However, I still believe we are partly to blame for this (and not just because a lot of us voted for bozos in congress and the white house, lol)…
I see people drive down the street to get their mail and then drive back to their house. So instead of getting up off their lazy ars, they spend fuel to go 50 feet. It’s this attitude that has caused such an extreme amount of fuel usage.
Yeah, right now oil is the best form of energy, but I think only because our attitude is the same. We aren’t willing to put the effort into anything else. Oil is easy…
Other than that I believe you are spot on with your response. Oh and no need to use words like “true fool”, it makes you seem arrogant and less credible.
Let us recall the history of the democrat party. The party of…
…the KKK (formerly known as the “terrorist wing of the democrat party”).
…placing KKK Grand Kleagle’s into the highest offices (Robert Byrd – who was voted by leftists into presidential line of siccession).
…Jim Crow.
…Slavery.
…Segregation.
…Segregation of the civil services (Wison).
…Balckballing of blacks from unions.
…Anti-Civil Rights (Republicans voted in higher number, %-wise, for all civil rights legislation in the 60’s).
…worthless union thugs.
…trial lawyer scumbags.
Democrat party simply uses minorities as chattle, much like slaves. They are nothing more than window dressing to buy votes and gain power. All at the expense of said minorities.
My quesion is this: Are you simply historically illiterate, or are you being partisan, facts be damned? Which is it?
The Repbulican party was formed to fight the democrat part’s favored institution of slavery. Now, it seems the Republican party’s main job is to keep Americans from being stuck under the financial slavery the democrat party is out to set upon us all.
One has to truly be a sick person, lacking is historical knowledge, bereft of economics training, and completely oblivious to an understanding of true freedom and the western enlightenment to be a member of the democrat party.
And, as your post demonstrates, you fit that mold perfectly.
OFB – Thanks for the clarification. I agree to a point.
If we really wanted to get off oil, here’s what could be done: Place a $10 billion prize for the first group to effectively come up with an alternative, which can be effectively marketed, distributed within the existing channels, and disposed of cleanly.
Hell, make it $20 bill. That would be the only way. Then, get out of the way and let inginuity and individual freedoms get to work to solve this.
At the same time, I am unaware of any form of energy that does not have even bigger drawbacks than oil, at present. But, to me, that would be worth $20 bill, far more than anything else coming out of Washington DC right now. Congress is the anti-midas. Rather than gold, everything they touch turns to $h!t.
Mike is right on in his assessment. Jon isn’t far off but you have to consider all of the products that are manufactured from petroleum. It’s not just energy and fuel.
Based on the stupidity of some of these comments, I’m sure many of you are Darwinists. Your stupidity proves Darwin was wrong. If he was correct, since you are at the bottom of the “gene pool” you wouldn’t have survived.
This wont work for the same reasons we can’t find a cure for cancer… there’s too much money in research. All of these PhD’s get grant money (our tax $) to research. If they actually found a cure or solution, they would kill their cash cow.

Is it November yet?
Waah! Waaah! Obama bad! I don’t like elections! Waah!
Thank you for proving txlady’s point.

I agree, those are some great ideas. The gov’t should be providing incentives to motivate people instead of taking away freedoms.
Well put.
Sorry – I drink oil for breakfast, i meant to give you kudo’s, not Jon. He’s an idiot whining all over his prescribed talking points.
