As we die for BP, our military rots in the wrong Gulf

As you read this, the life of our bodies, nation and planet is being blown out a corporate hole in the Gulf of Mexico and into a BP Dead Zone of no return.

The apocalyptic gusher of oily poison pouring into the waters that give us life can only be viewed---FELT---by each and every one of us as an on-going death by a thousand cuts with no end in sight.

Yet our government---allegedly the embodiment of our collective will to survive---has done NOTHING of significance to fight this mass murder. Not one meaningful thing.

We squander our treasure on the largest conglomeration of people and weapons the world has ever seen. It's bloated with hardware designed specifically to destroy and kill. Hundreds of thousands of Americans sit on our dime in more than a hundred countries, rotting in the outposts of a bygone empire.


Why aren't they in the Gulf of Mexico, fighting for our truest "national security"?

The depth and scope of this catastrophe is impossible to grasp because it is just beginning. The entire Gulf, the west coast of Florida, the Everglades, the east coast of Florida and all the way up, wherever the currents go....they are all at risk.

Make no mistake: in our lifetime, the Gulf will not recover.
Nor will our species.

Our "leaders" are so brain-fucked it's beyond belief.

they just don't give a shit. It's all about the Benjamins, the yachts, the 5 million dollar birthday party for their whores, er I mean wives.

It is so nonsensical and irresponsible that it simply boggles the mind.

threads die quickly on a Dem board remains a mystery.

As if the Earth can wait.

Bitching on a board won't do much.

Abandon all hope... :cry:
