MAKE IT STOP
What does it take?
What does it take to shame a company?
What does it take to shame a company and those it contracts with?
What does it take to shame the government agencies that let certain irregularities and incomplete safety measures slide?
What does it take to shame a nation that has watched a disaster grow, and grow, until nearly half of its coastline is in danger of dying? Until whole populations are at risk of losing not just their livelihoods for this year, in times that are already hard...

It's very sad and apparently no one cares. We live in a society that's all about making money, no matter the cost...and it's really sad.

with all the resources that human kind has developed, all the knowledge, all the science, we still destroy, we still conquer, we skill annihilate, and we still lie to ourselves pretending that this got nothing to do with us.
You hear so little about it - in conversation, in the media - there is something so disturbing about this entire situation. It makes me sick.
Obviously you guys didn't do your homework. People are trying to do something about it. And of course you don't hear a lot about it, since people are already trying to do something about it. They've been trying to do something about this sort of thing for years. You just haven't heard about it until something big like this oil spill happened. The media cares more about getting a story than they do about following one. The oil spill was just that to them: a story. But to the actual people doing something, it is an ongoing battle. So stop complaining. You're either going to be part of the solution, or part of the the problem. And complaints only add to the problem.
It's sad, really. Pathetic, to be honest. This may seem like an accident, but accidents are not preventable. Accidents are unavoidable. This was a mistake. The only reason it would ever be referred to as an accident instead of a mistake is because a mistake means that someone must take the blame. Why did this happen? This happened because it is too expensive to worry about safety measures. Who suffers? Everyone, eventually. It's so sad that the people who caused this cannot see that things far more precious than money, which is printed every day, was at stake. It is at stake. Whether or not this is reversible is yet to be seen, but the anger that many are feeling toward this situation, in my opinion, shall not ever be reversed.
Ugh. It's terrible. Poor little animals. Sigh.
That is absolutely terrible! Shamless world.
