I'm not often political, at least in print, but sometimes a little rebellion is good for the soul! Before making comments like this, I put my money where my mouth is—I've enlisted to assist in sea bird clean up if it reaches us on the Atlantic side of Florida. Here's my complaint.
Oil and water don't mix. In order to mix, you have to create an emulsion. Will it be BP or Washington, DC?
Cajun shop vacs! That's just down home, get dirty, American genius! Holding our hands out and waiting for someone else to fix things is so pre-Katrina.
Why aren't Americans fund-raising for this singular, unprecedented, monumental catastrophe? We've aided every other foreign disaster for decades. Who cares if it was manmade or natural? Since when have we started making those distinctions before reaching into our pockets to help? Since when have we ever depended on Big Oil for anything except higher gas prices unless we are fortunate enough to be stockholders?
9/11 was a manmade disaster. Did we wait for the Saudi government to take responsibility and clean up their mess? Like that was going to happen!
Months have now gone by with heads being scratched, fingers being pointed and hands held out for aid. Giving a hand is what needs to happen and now.
I agree 100%!!!!
