Sorry my friend, but the black SUV on the provided picture is absolutely unnecessary for anyone.
Depends on how big your family is. If you have 3 or 4 kids you won't have a chance with a piece of crap like an Opel Astra (or would you tie two of your kids on the roof?)
And really, what's the big deal? Accidents happen all the time, the world's an imperfect place. Just because we humans made a little mistake with that oil, doesn't mean that we should stop bringing up oil.
Does any of you nature freaks realize, how many animals get killed by earth itself? Through Earthquakes? Volcanoes? Tornados? Tsunamis? Heat Waves?
Why does nobody "cry" for those animals and go up and say "# you "Mother Nature" you stupid bitch for killing our innocent animals"? Nooo, earth is perfect and if it kills animals it must be for a greater good but we humans are just a waste and so evil and bad and if we do one tiny mistake it means that we all should die because earth doesn't need us
Oh and i will continue to drive my Corvette

We have millions of able bodied men and women unemployed.. from recent grads to former middle class. How about the Government pay $500 a week per person, offer them free airfare to get to the gulf, provide them with cleaning materials and a trailer or something to sleep in provided by FEMA, and CLEAN THIS UP!
BP can pay the cost, and it will stimulate the economy, especially in the gulf! If the Government had such a program I'd be out there the next day, and we could have tens of thousands scrubbing birds, clearing beaches, laying protection for wetlands, and prepping other states like Florida for the coming disaster.

Lets imagine 2011...Its campaign time, and Obama has to defend against criticism for the greatest depression, the utter destruction of the gulf/possibly east coast, double digit inflation, failed promise to pull troops out of Iraq, high unemployment and a gulf oil leak that is still not 100% contained...
Will you and Joy Behar still blame Bush/Chaney then?
Just wait till pictures emerge of the poor little turtles all covered in crude and dieing...

We share the earth with these beautiful creatures, and we have let them down. We have failed.
My little one asked me the other day, "why do we have to have oil? can't we leave the oil alone in the ground?"
indeed
I don't want to be a hypocrite anymore. I want to find ways to live without oil, and I wish everyone would join me. Oil is many things, but I believe that we have progressed as a people to the point where we can find the alternatives and make them work.
“The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.”
"What better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here."

Uhg.. disgusting.. I saw these clips on the news this morning, words can't describe how disgusting it is.
Computer models show oil hitting the gulf stream current by day 65 and being slingshotted up the East coast clear up to New Jersey .. regardless if the flow is stopped, the remaining oil is more than likely to continue damaging a wide area, especially now it seems Florida.
And still .. very little being done aside from setting up booms. Where is the massive government response to clear these shores??
