    why did it take 8 days for Obama to even respond to it? how many lives will be lost because he waited so long?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Accidents happen?


    They happen to fuck with a whole bunch of people who got no profit from the assholes who just killed 11 people and are about to distroy huge swathes of wetlands.

    Do you understand what this is going to do to the fishing and tourism industry in the area for decades?

    There is just one answer to this "drill baby drill", drill into you peoples heads that pandering to one industry at the expense of many others is not going to get you to your Randian Utopia.

    And here I thought big business did better when the government stayed out of things. I hear all the time how with less regulations, less government, businesses, like the oil business would do much better. Well now is the time to pony up. Show us how they do things better, cheaper and faster than the federal government ever could. This is the result of dependence on oil, period. For decades people have wanted the US to get off the oil tit, but there is just too much money to be made so now the gulf is fucked. There are 200k gallons a day pouring into the gulf and the guy from the oil company that owns this cluster fuck said it could take 90 days to stop the leaking. I guess what pisses me off the most is the oil industry gets indignant when people talk about the polution from their industry UNTIL this happens then they walk around on TV news shows with their thumbs up their asses acting like they don't know what the fuck they are doing.

    just because you drive a broom, doesn't mean the rest of us can. we'll continue to use gasoline until a cheaper alternative is found.

    How much does a destroyed ecosystem cost?

    Gas is as cheap as it is because the true costs associated with the extraction, production and use of gasoline are not reflected in its price. If those externalities were reflected in the price, we'd see a hell of a lot more alternative energy use.

    are you telling all of us that the oil companies drill, ship, refine, and transport all of their oil for free?

    I don't think so. Gas would be alot cheaper had the dems not stonewalled building a few new refineries decades ago.
