Images of a Catastrophe
It goes without saying that this BP oil spill is emotionally enraging, saddening, and frustrating all in equal measure. The hands of all parties involved are, quite literally, stained: BP, the Obama Administration, non-stop Republican advocates for off-shore drilling, and the American public for not wising up and demanding the unqualified termination of this type of business enterprise. Oil is an awful and dirty game to be involved in. How many more oil spills will convince this country to either wake up and admit that we have to abandon oil altogether (Republicans) or ditch the appeasing political half measures and transition to other forms of fuel (Democrats).
This is a pox on all our houses.
