Well, I'm pizzed off about the entire thing. How the heck did this happen? We have no safeguards in place? This is total BS. Nobody learns lessons like when the Exxon Valdez spilled? Make me sick to think about all the animal life it's going to kill and jobs it's going to take away from the gulf. AND, we will end up paying for the mistake! Talk about dumb azz's, this is a major mess.

Oil, can't live with it, can't live without.....were stuck.
Without it the Muslims would all die a slow death.........we buy gas from them and they buy bombs, bullets and corrupt the Arab youth.......can't win that one ether.

Yeah, its some nasty stuff. Theres a preventer down there somewhere, guess it didn't work.
There was also the loss of 12 good men.....the Gulf supplies 25% of the oil used in the US.
65% is imported oil from countries who are not favorable to the US..

So about 10% of the oil comes from shore based wells.
What does that tell ya? The US is just about out of crude, there have been no major discoveries since the 60's world wide.

The Alaska pipe line runs at less than 50% is a rapidly depleting source of oil.
Anwar holds about a 60 supply of oil. Thats why that oil is still in the ground.

The US has been importing oil since 1973, thats how long US resevers have been disappearing. This country was built on $4.00 a barrel oil, now its $80.00...
1973 was the begining of the end of oil.

First it was the end of cheap oil, now its the end of oil period.....there well always be oil but at a price that few can afford.
Without oil the planet can't support 6 billion people, it can't support them now but without oil it will be complete chaos.

When the real end of oil comes, and it wont be long the alternatives are wind power, nuclear,
solar, home town nukes, and the evil of all evils.........coal.
We have plenty of coal and CNG.........CNG is clean burning and the US has plenty but only Honda builds a CNG car that I know of.

If you look at the price and availibility of todays oil it doesn't a big brain to see where its going.
The Saudis haven't reported thier reserves in over 25 years and the Saudi's are the swing production, when theres a glitch in the world oil market the Saudis ramp up production.
Its in the Saudi's best interest keep the world stuck on crude, they have nothing else.

The Saudi major fields are being pumped with water to pressurize a dieing field.
That involves very expenisve opertaions to separate the oil from the water and then to pump the water back into the field, the Saudis have no water....thier desal plants run day and night at a very high cost of crude to produce the heat to convert sea water to steam for the converison to drinking water.

Oil is over.
The problem is that not enough is being done to replace it. California is a leader in US alternative power sources.
But its too little to late.

The major cause of all the worlds problems has never been addressed to the point that some major changes have taken place.
The problem is OVER POPULATION..........I had 1 child that was it, my brother had 3 my sister 4.........my 1 child has never had a child........but my brother and sister un did all that I did and then some.

Population responsibility is something thats never going to happen and its the end of life as we know it and its all based on oil.....without oil most of the planets people will go the way of the dinosaur. So oil is going to be the limiting factor when it comes to over population.

They are both intertwined.

What a bunch of idiots .I'd like to know why clean up was not started immediately ?I'd like to know why they (BP) didn't use the technology that was used during the gulf war .The well could have been sealed within two days .

Now after 30 days everything was put on hold so the corp.of engineers can study the solutions and impact .

I figured out Obama really isn't black he's actually white but full of "bull chit".

Can you imagine if North Korea nukes the south ,we'd have to study the problem.

Its only begining, oil is more important than God............

When I said that oil is more important than God, I meant that without oil at its current production rate there will be a mass die off of the people on this planet that even God could not stop.....so in that sence a civilization based on cheap oil is doomed to failure.
The US doesn't have any oil.

No oil no food.
Petro chemicals are used to grow the food.
Diesel and gasoline are used to pick the food, to deliver the food and to process the food.
Oil is used to refrigerate the food.

Diesel is used to power the water pumps to irrigate the fields.
The generating of power is by diesel.

Without oil is back to the stone age.
Oil is actually a rareity.
Its all been found, there isn't anymore. But the big oil companies are fighting alternate energy. Its not in there best interest.

Buying foreign crude is the largest tranfer of wealth in the history of the world.
Its not sustainable.

When one considers all the pressures that are on todays world it seems that one more tiny glitch and its all over.

BP is out there in 1 mile deep water because thats where the oil is left.
Land based crude is over.

BP has a much bigger offshore site than the one that sank and its run the same way as the one that sank, if it goes it could destroy that area for our life times.

The invasion of Iraq was all about 1/4 of the worlds known crude supply.
Considering just how vital oil to the survival of our world a war over crude is worth dieing for.

People the world over are going to meet thier maker everyday over oil.
Oil is at this stage in the game more important than God. Its just a meatphor to demonstrate
the incredable power of oil in this world.

God isn't producing anymore oil........without it we are doomed.
Alternate energy, its too little too late.

Brazil saw it coming in the 70's and Brazil is today oil independent.
We did nothing...................

On the question of God, thats my second best topic after oil that is.
Gods and Devils are the bane of mankind.
It seems that one follows the other just like darkness follows the light.
Anyone who believes in God is forced to believe in the Devil, one wonders if the Devil and his evils isn't the main reason why people believe in God?

If one knew that after physical death that one's consciousness survived that death, would we be so caught up with a belief in God's or Devils?
In the uinverse the realm of Gods and Devils, there is no up or down, or in or out, or linear
time, there is no evil, there is a greater good though.

That greater good is self evident in the very nature of a balanced universe.
We have a hard time just balancing a check book let alone trying to comprehend the essence or power of God.

God is simply beyond our understanding, our consciousness in not capable of contemplating
the universe let alone "All that Is".
Just as one cannot see the wind, we can only see the power of the wind so it is with the power of "All that Is".

"All that is" is the unimaginable power of the universe. We are apart of all that power.
Christinaity is a very simplified version of the beginings of the universe, it was told to a world that for the most part were ignorant and illiterate.

If the Bible was written today it would be far different.

Andy did you think that it would work............its called make like were trying.
They don't have a clue.
Nothing has worked yet........it maybe months, months into the hurricane season.
There just might be Gulf oil in Atlanta.

Theres two major players in this the largest oil spill in history.

1. The government.......no inspections, no safety features, no critical responce,
no contingency plan......
Every major aircraft built in this country has 3 or more build in redundant safety features.
BP had but one and that one failed


2. BP for cutting corners and pushing in the well, and for all of the above.
