LOVE this post~!!! I am often paraded through the streets of Twitter as an "UNFOLLOWER" by a Justin Bieber fan who must have unfollowed me, cuz that's when I unfollow people-unless they're stars ;-) I find this parade ridiculous, but it makes me laugh out loud even now, since the leader of the band is almost ALWAYS someone who has just unfollowed all of their followers and expects me to remain - loyally~!! Not happening for the Bieber fan, maybe for the Bieber - lol

Thought provoking, Gina!
While I feel this is extremely well written, I have to respectfully disagree that BP is a scapegoat. There are other oil companies in competition with BP that have not had this type of catastrophe. Why are they drilling where they cannot fix this problem in a reasonable time? Greed. I suspect they have competitors in equally risky territory, perhaps more, and I also suspect there have been a few that have passed because the risk was too great. It is true that consumers are demanding lower prices on items, while it is also true that corporations are gathering higher profits than ever. Moreover, this company’s arrogance in the very face of this horrific event is brazen. This is not an “oil spill”. If it was on land in an old movie, it would be a “gusher” and people would be laughing, dancing and letting the oil rain down upon them (rather than the pelicans) and they would shout, “We’re rich!”

Obviously, we need to seek alternative energy sources. I think it is dangerous to continue letting companies and corporations do as they please. Believe me, they are not going to suddenly give more value or be more careful when charging more or adjust in any way - it will go straight to the balance sheet. Also, I do not think I have purchased any cheap gas for my Taurus since it was unavailable ;-)

I agree that BP is not responding to negative press very well at all. “Catch more flies with honey than vinegar” may be the approach to try next, but I honestly think they are winging it. I think they do not have the slightest idea how to stop this and their top priority is the oil they are losing until they have the other wells ready in August to collect for their greed. I do agree with that last part, “Heal earth.”

Wonderful post and I don’t normally comment in this tone, either! ll Hope you’ll forgive me!

PS Thanks for mentioning me with such Luuv~!!!

(((((((HUGS))))))))

"Happy meter" is brilliant!

That's awesome, Gina~! We would have done the very same thing =) "Paw of Friendship" to you for this!
Yet, in the wake of terrible news...

Dearest Gina,
I am so very sorry to hear Paloma had to go. I don't know whether you have children, (we don't), but I think of our dogs as daughter-dogs and am just sobbing for your loss. Even though you know it's coming, there is nothing really to be done to prepare emotionally - coping, as you said, "It’s the putting it in practice that’s the tough part."

We all have the script and direction for what to do and what to say, but the doing is the hardest part. I know I shouldn't refer to pets as kids in this sense, but it's how I feel and suspect you might, too. They are like innocent little children and even their "naughty antics" are endearing. Their presence is a constant in our lives. I know you were the best Mom Paloma could have! We will all be here for you, perhaps clumsy, but ready to help as much as we can. You are loved. -Anita @ModelSupplies & Hubster, too

G is for Giant~!! @SuuperG iant =) I don't know how many followers you have, but it should be well into the millions~!!! You definitely share BIG time! Thanks for the great post =)
