Drill two of deez...

Not too much I can really say but the thought of the oil spill in the gulf is killing me. Just knowing there are thousands of gallons of oil spilling out unchecked into the gulf right now with literally nothing we can do about it is a pretty powerless feeling.
Just consider how closely tied to the ocean or gulf any coastal city is and realize the impact of something like this. No beach, no fishing, no seafood, no tourism for years, it's literally debilitating for the humans. Sad.
Being that I grew up on the gulf and live close to the ocean now and am literally at the beach several times a week, or more. I've seen the beauty of the ocean and all of the animals in it. Just thinking of the turtles, the birds, the fish, the dolphins, the entire ecosystem being destroyed is awful. Every level of the food chain is effected causing every level that isn't directly being killed by oil to suffer and possibly die.
There's no price that can be put on this.
Of course we can argue about oil and how much it's needed and where it comes from and who we give our money to endlessly. The point is we are caught in this because of an infrastructure we didn't create and using products we didn't invent. The change will be slow and gradual but it needs to come from the top. Sure driving less would help and consuming less would help but really... our society is built around the automobile. My argument is that any city infrastructure that was set up after the invention of the automobile is tied to it and damned to it.
That and the country that supports and invents new and green technologies will remove itself from the ties of oil. This is the new industrial revolution and if our country can support the invention of these new technologies and refinement of the ones we have it will better position ourselves for the future.
Unfortunately there's too much money in oil to really have anything change right? Money out of politics now please...
Drill these two nuts in your teabagging mouth bitches.
