BP's Accidental Terrorism Brings "Silent Spring" To America

................

British Petroleum has just staged, accidentally, one of the most radically destructive acts of political theater in recorded human history, a tragedy of vast proportions that will probably change our lives: in the end for the better, I hope...

But, in the short run, it will be grim. See, every year in the Spring countless bird species migrate north, and US Gulf Coast marshes and estuaries are a major feeding point for that energy-intensive trek. So, our backyards will probably get quieter this year and stay quieter for a long, long time.

Consider this picture of an "oilbird."

Now, think of seeing this picture every day,
over and over and over and over and over again.

For years, maybe.

2. Ultimately, success or failure for animals is usually determined

by how accurately the connections are understood. nt

4. This is well beyond any dollar amount

Those capitalist bastards have destroyed a significant chunk of humanity's heritage. (Of course they have been wrecking little chunks for decades)

Expropriate without compensation.

BP officers to the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Nationalize the energy sector.

5. This is Apocalyptic.

And the criminals are still in charge of the crime scene.

Rather than give in to the sense of hoplessness, I am angry enough to want some tiny sense of justice.

Heads on pikes!
