BP’s a Corporation?

At 2.30am I was dreaming about blobs of thick, oozing oil on the white sand with the sound of helicopters flying overhead. I awakened with the phrase, “BP needs a piece of equipment large enough to hold the oil it is bringing to the surface but it will take two weeks to arrive from the North Sea.” I awakened with this statement echoing in my mind and couldn’t get back to sleep.

Can anyone help me understand how Buffoon Petroleum can be so short sighted? It is one bit of stupidity after another and frankly I don’t understand how they operate, seeing that they are the 5th or 6th biggest oil company in the world. And we trust our waters to these nut-jobs?

Okay…enough of the sleep-deprived rant. Now….before federal waters in the Pensacola area were closed a couple of guys were out scuba diving and one came up through a plume (remember those things BP says do not exist?) of oil 60 feet under the surface. He was coated in oil. Did you hear that from the media? Also, before the federal waters were closed a charter boat was snapper fishing and oil came up on their line and the snapper, caught at about 100 feet of depth, were coated in oil. This was reported on CNN.

Friends of mine have neighbors in Pensacola that are captains for oil rig vessels. The guy worked for Transocean until he resigned in December because he thought they didn’t have their stuff together. Coupled with BP, who are known to have safety violations in the past that caused accidents and deaths and Haliburton (I am intentionally leaving out the part of Satan’s spawn owning Haliburton because it might be too harsh) who is owned by one less-than-trustworthy person, are we really surprised that we have the scale of disaster in the Gulf of Mexico? We as a nation must stand up and demand accountability starting with ourselves, our governments and these sleeze-ball corporations who rape and pillage our earth while we stand by with dazed stares.

I like to focus my comments on what I experience while on the beaches but my nightmares prompted this commentary. Rather than seascapes I bring dreamscapes–nightmares– to the blog today. And this comes from the grief I am feeling which I describe this way: If I take all the sadness and grief I’ve ever felt in this lifetime about friends and family dying and multiply that by 100, it begins to describe my feelings. I can only touch small bits at a time and breath through it.
