Termyn8or -> RE: The Oil Spill (6/9/2010 5:14:37 PM)

Had to jumpthrough because, well just because. My boss and I talked about it today in fact. He says that the Earth has a way of cleansing itself. He mentioned about all the volcanic activity and shit like that, but the Earth still rights itself eventually. I said something like sure, but if it takes a hundred thousand years it does us no good.
In other words, it should be OK for future civilisations, if any. For us, it may be one of the seven signs of the apocolypse, but not forever. We may be someone else's future civilisation (if you can call it that) for all we know. But the Earth has been through hell before so it's likely to be able to take it again.
Not that this does us any good.
And my almost political opinion is that nobody should volunteer. Are they going to volunteer you some free gasoline ? My attitude is fukum. Let them bear the full cost. I hope a way is found to sue them if negligence is able to be proven. And in a way, BP was just a way to send the jobs at Standard Oil overseas. And them they had a nice big round of office closings here, and also abandoned my city. They don't care about us and I think people's time would be better spent putting severe public pressure on BP to clean up it's own damn mess. I'd like to see the company ruiined. They have contributed to our demise, I think times like these are quite fit to return the favor.
Sorry if you don't see it my way, but I think if they don't suffer enough they will just do it again. And really, if they would have done this before Katrina, think of how that would've went. It would be disbursed alright, but where ?
