Discussion on Rhandi rhodes abou BP denying NOAA inspections.
To try to assess the actual amount being blown into the gulf. Can this be true?

Why is BP allowed to restrict access to the blowout site? It's in our waters.

Fuck BP!

Take over the company, seize all their assets and arrest the execs.

NOAA and FEMA should be in charge of the response.

These mutherfuckers are clueless, and that includes the Obama administration. BP should never have been allowed to use dispersent, which hides the problem by causing the oil to clump on the seabed. This is bullshit! All kinds of fibrous materials and microorganisms are available to clean up surface oil. It would take a massive effort, but would be a lot safer than using toxic dispersant. The out of work fisherman, and many others could be paid for helping to clean up the oil.

The president and his administration have fucked this up big time by not responding more forcefully and more timely. This is ridiculous.

1. There is a group that think they will not be effected.

So they use terror as a method. That method can take many forms, and use many methods including deception.

There are some that think if they hurt enough people, good people will back down, it is part of the downward spiral, and why the heart has to be reached, so that people do not think in terms of them having to hurt people.

A bad person doing bad should not turn a person trying to do good away from what they do.

If someone trying to do good stops because of a threat, that person gives his power to the bad side, and they would do more bad with that concent.

If there was someone that was a sociopath, and someone tries to stop him from hurting people, some times the reaction from the sociopath is to metaphorically hurt hostages. And the sociopaths in our society have many hostages since they have consolidated some power.

But because that is the way they operate, it does not get better by backing down. Moving in hard on them, saves as many as possible from hurt.

Note that moving in hard includes mercy, it is about establishing justice, but with love also.

6. I'm serious as well.
At least seize whatever assets they have in this country. It's been done with other terrorist organizations.

Troops should be sent to take control of the blowout site, and actual experts should start making decisions.

BP is trying to cover their butts. No way they should be allowed this kind of power over us.
