HEADLINE: As spill grows, oil soaks delicate marshes, birds; Salazar "not confident" in BP

The pelicans struggled to clean the crude from their bodies, splashing in the water and preening themselves. One stood at the edge of the island with its wings lifted slightly, its head drooping — so encrusted in oil it couldn't fly.



BARATARIA BAY, La. – As officials approached to survey the damage the Gulf oil spill caused in coastal marshes, some brown pelicans couldn't fly away Sunday. All they could do was hobble.

Several pelicans were coated in oil on Barataria Bay off Louisiana, their usually brown and white feathers now jet black. Pelican eggs were glazed with rust-colored gunk, and new hatchlings and nests were also coated with crude.

It is unclear if the area can even be cleaned, or if the birds can be saved. It is also unknown how much of the Gulf Coast will end up looking the same way because of a well that has spewed untold millions of gallons of oil since an offshore rig exploded more than a month ago...

Obama administration officials continued defending their response while criticizing that of BP PLC, which leased the rig and is responsible for the cleanup. U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he is "not completely" confident that BP knows what it's doing.

Of coarse they don't know what they are doing, they are following a system. That system dictates their actions, and when in that system they do not do things because they know what they are doing. They were put to sleep years ago, now they do what they are told.

They do what that system dictates. Shareholder profit, and maximizing profits, and PR to maximize profits. It doesn't make them bad, just not always thinking and feeling within best systems.

Of coarse they don't know what they are doing, and to be honest, many people are just doing what they are told from the phones. I have found people have to think on what the phone is saying, and ask if that is what they want to be.


I find much of the phones humorous, and don't worry about them, but sometimes their are comments that can give thought on a subject, where you ask yourself what does it help you think and feel on. But not by domination, nor lack of freewill, or subjugation.

And it is possible their phone line is not connected anymore, so it is also possible they are thinking and feeling for the first time in years. Many phone lines have been being shut down in my view of things.

No offense to BP, such a comment would not be about them specifically, many could not be in that state, but some might be. It is different for different people.
