O.K., BP. I'll buy it. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is tiny in
comparison to the amount of water there. That's what BP thinks we
should consider. It certainly shows us how the oil industry thinks.
They aren't going to let something as small as an oil spill slow them
down from making money - no way! Well, that 'tiny' comment just
plugged up BP's hole. If that is 'tiny' and it can cause so much
damage, then what kind of damage would an oil spill that is not 'tiny'
cause? The thought is horrific. The thought is enough to tear down all
the platforms and outlaw any oil tanker that has less than a double
hull. It is enough to demand that we move swiftly and aggressively to
replace oil with green technology. But there are tar patches appearing
on beaches on the Gulf, so I recommend we tar and feather the
executives. We'll use the feathers from dead birds.
