Oil Spill

I don't know all the details and I am not going to pretend to, but what I do know is my attitude towards this issue and that's all that this is.

I understand that this was a mistake an accident. An accident that has killed 11 workers. It seems we have quickly forgotten about that and are now more upset about the oil spilling into the gulf. It is not like BP decided that they were bored and wanted to spill the oil. So let's cut them some slack as they figure out how to "fix" this. Am I sad that there is oil washing up and killing animals, YES. But I am not going to get mad and irritated at them. They are trying and they have their best heads go to work and fix it. I am sure they dont enjoy all that oil on the gulf either(thats money lost to them).  How would you like to be in their shoes? No you wouldn't, then shut up and let them do their job. You could pray for wisdom for the engineers and BP officials making the calls.  

And another twist to this is that I am sick of selfish, unresponsable, demanding, always right Americans. These workers were drilling oil for US and on our soil like we have been begging. We are quick to criticize and slow to accept any "blame". This picture reminds me of the movie Walle. If I didn't believe that Jesus were coming back some day, I would surely feel as though we were heading in the direction of that movie, all based on the unawareness of the consequences of our actions. The Earth became so polluted that they had to leave the Earth and lived on a ship for 700 billion years or something like that. WE as Americans are so product demanding and yet we dont want to think we negatively affect our habitat. SERIOUSLY~LETS GET OVER OUR SELVES and start accepting responsibility for our children's sake!

Then there is the government. Like I said, I dont know all the details, but I know what I have seen and it appears that all they are doing is saying that BP will pay for this. Lets suck it up and work together and MAYBE here's an idea, it will get done faster. Stop placing blame and work as a team, because come on now, we should be on the same team for our country. I'd rather have the government working on this oil spill than taking the time to tell me what cribs I cannot use and setting laws on that; than demanding I wear my seat belt; pushing swine flu and regular flu vaccines and whatever else they are trying to push that I dont know about yet! Yes the above 2 are for safety reasons, but they are my choice! It is my choice on which crib I use and my choice to wear my seat belt or not. WHAT HAPPENED TO FREE CHOICE that our forefathers fought so hard for? I see even less of that for my kids and for that I am sad.
