If you are Outraged now wait until you read "BP and the Three Pigs Memo"!
I can't even begin to explain how I feel about this....so I will let you all share in my disgust and growing rage.

<snip>
In the Texas City explosion five years ago where 15 workers died and 170 were injured, put those workers who died into cheap portable trailers next door to highly explosive facilities purely to save money.

This internal document, referring to its own analysis as The Three Little Pigs, shows how BP took deadly risks by choosing to save money by building cheaper housing for workers after comparing the cost of housing people in blast-resistant buildings versus the cheaper trailers.

1. There is a comment on the blame game in that article.
Edited on Sat May-29-10 10:06 PM by RandomThoughts
Their is a musical called Cats, it has many ideas I disagree with, but it explains many methods of control, and has many concepts in it.

If you have pretty strong sense of who you are, and can keep from being shaken up, the musical Cats explains the perspective of many people. And the people are mostly good, but still there are some excuses in the musical that people use.

Cats has many concepts of secret groups in the musical. It is also a concept of things behind people pushing them to do things when they do not think and feel on if they are right or wrong.


This song is about a group blaming another, and nobody is held accountable, because the blame game is used to get people off the hook. The problem is the ideology behind many people doing those things. And in that many are responsible, including many in society that follow many ideologies that they know are not the best. But doing nothing is not the answer, then things don't get corrected.

Cats musical.

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick - change comedians
Tight - rope walkers and acrobats
They had an extensive reputation, made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their center of operation for they were incurably given to rove

When the family assembled for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on
Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
The joint has gone from the oven like that!"

Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer!"
And most of the time they left it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer had a wonderful way of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck and some of the time you would say it was weather
They'd go through the house like a hurricane and no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer? Or could you have sworn that it might have been both?
When you heard a dining room smash or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer and there's nothing at all to be done about that"


It is about a group letting people in their group get away with things, thinking it is only something supernatural causing it, but not looking at the actions of the people that can let bad ideologies that hurt people effect society. People choose what ideologies they follow, and there can be both good and bad, but there is a group that says no blame for anyone because it is just the ideology working through them. I think people can pick good or bad thoughts to express, and there should be some justice, with mercy and learning also, to help people learn what most think is better. Although I could be wrong on that.


(Note: I think there are good and bad clowns in things, so people need to think and feel on things. I also post this thinking on recent police videos, and think the songs they sing are mostly good, so not worried about that. The point is some people think the way of that song, and think they can't do anything. But you can do something, and do by what ideology you choose to follow. And note that if you do think of it as clowns, some don't hurt people but try to help, many thoughts are about concepts of good and bad angels in many things. My point is the supernatural exists, and there is both good and bad in things, but people need to think and feel on things. The musical has some bad and some good, all things do, but there is a point to posting it.)

Note that I disagree with many concepts in the musical, but there are groups that believe the same way as that musical. There is some good in it, but there is also bad. But some people believe in the concept in different ways.
The Cats Musical Part 1

Many posts here, also talk about cats in those contexts.

Want to keep talking on the topic, because there is a mix in the musical, some good some bad. I think it is important to know what some think on.

2. Yet Republicans stand on the floor of the Senate...
...and defend these habitual criminals, and seek to limit liability to their victims.
