Reply #10: Booming Language [View All]

"Ha Haaaa! Nice one centurion! Like it, like it!" - Ben the Prisoner, Monty Python's Life of Brian

In a recent article I noted that booms 'look appropriate for an Olympic-sized swimming pool' but that's 'cause I didn't know fucking proper fucking booming.

Now I do, and this blowout is still the most hideous event any of us will ever see (that's see, not the stuff we're responsible for elsewhere in the world, which might as well be in Alpha Centauri). Another article called the Deepwater Disaster a 'fixing point' for all the ills that plague us as a nation - corporate personhood, political corruption and inertia, environmental destruction, a useless media, and crucial public issues shrouded in secrecy (even in the aftermath). It is a fixing point, and the only thing left is to see the full public reaction, to determine if we still have the ability to take matters into our own hands. Because if this isn't just cause, there is no such.
