All that logic, how bout’ some emotion…I tried to go and look at the pictures of this and I just can’t, I physically burst into tears, I have been in these bayous, I’ve been down SR23, I am broken by these events, I cannot even watch this on TV, my husband and I fight over this, because I am depressed by it so. It’s sad.

Not from me, Ace.... One would think had bp had a real plan they would not have waited to implement it, would not have been so insecure about their plans to begin with, and would have moved faster to reduce the ire of the American public, as well as their own immense losses, and the losses yet to come.

It is hard to type through tears, I cannot express to you what these bayous mean to me, all the Gulf and bay locations along our coast, I am disgusted with bp and our government right now, just disgusted, and I will happily remove the words “british petroleum” from my mind, I feel like I've "B"een "P"hucked by them while the "Big Boys" in D.C. watched to see if I really cared, well, I fucking care....what to do, what to do NOW. It just seems not many others “seriously” care (fucking finger pointers, “I didn’t do it, It’s not my job, it was an accident”) unless it encroaches upon them personally, shame; they will never truly understand what they have done to the shorelines, to the flora and fauna, and especially to people who live there and make their livings on that water, in that water, that water is all they know, fishing and shrimping and crabbing and crawfish and oysters and more and more, this is all they know.

Tell me why bp isn’t in masses in the marsh NOW; tell me why bp hasn’t been back “full court” to start cleaning or why our tax paid for government isn’t, “contracts or guard” already out there in mass yet either……. WHY?? Somebody answer those questions, why have they waited so damn long to start doing something more about what is already in the delta. Enough fucking talk, and bickering, fucking DO SOMETHING bp, DO SOMETHING NOW! Logic says the only way to stop the flow is to drill another well, we all know this must be done, why haven’t they even started this….. bp planned alright, they planned a cost vs. loss ratio, how much will it cost us to prevent this “accident” as opposed to how much it will cost to fix it, well, they planned wrong. They have not been honest with us, but neither has our own government in tasking this offensively for our citizens, the ball has been dropped by many people in this disaster, the sad thing, this was never a game to make such careless bets, we are all losing here.

Sure, we need oil, we always will, for something or anther we always need oil, the real question is, don’t we need more responsible people in charge of it, people who don’t put a price on the environment, people who cannot be bought to betray there own conscience, Good Luck…… the reality is this is the worse kind of learning experience, the ones that we remember forever, and next time be better prepared for, God forbid there is ever a next time.

top hat, top kill, still spewing oil….. they never had any form of intelligent plan, it is obvious, they had no “real” plan, AT ALL, they still don’t, what a giant clusterfuck. I need another tissue, dammit, dammit, dammit, it's just so sad.
