I thought we were smarter. Comparing the Gulf MURDER to the Nashville flood crises is like comparing molecules to the Empire State Building. Cleaning it is nice, but useless. The people who made their living on their boats are too busy sending resumes out to other parts of the country (and world); even if BP fixes it there will be no oceanculture in our liftime; enough to make a living; or even clean enough to eat. Sheesh. I grew up on the Gulf Coast. I know what flooding does.....a week or two at most of no work, of clean up, and we're back in business. What we're seeing here, this BP mess makes all the rest (including Katrina) look like Mr Rogers Neighborhood.

The feeds we are seeing during the top-kill are from PBS; We see 3 leaks rather than one; which, in BP tradition, they've purposely set up that way. I dont think they knew PBS had cameras down there. Uh oh. BP needs to be tried for murder and leave our seas....IMMEDIATELY.

I am not sure of the engineering answer as I'm not an engineer, but I do know a few things. Obama can do nothing, thanks to GHW Bush Sr. Immediately after the Exxon Valdez he signed a bill that makes the oil company responsiblle for fixing all damages done. If it is done at sea, the Coast Guard oversees it, if on land, the EPA. Congress' silence is deafening, as is the President. There is no way they cannot know this, and, also know that
an emergency meeting needs to be called to amend that bill and take it out of the murderers hands. Yes BP execs are murderers. They were told by experts to use the very cheap mud packs but it took to much time and BP wanted that oil fast. We see the results. It is at least negligent homicide. We've heard nothing of a trial. But more importantly we have lunatics trying to fix a problem that they created. What we need is for the Coast Guard and EPA to remove them and bring in engineers and others from other firms who know what they are doing, obviously BP does not, and simply fix it. Would it cost us tax dollars. Yes it would. There are times when big government is necessary. I lived in Ms during the virulent 1964 Civil Rights Movement. That was one of those times. The people in charge did not know what they were doing. I am not for big government, but I AM in cases like this. Would I pay a few more dollars a year to save America's economy? Yes, wouldn't you? Please. contact your Congressperson today and demand an emergency meeting to amend the Exxon Bill so that BP can be removed from the project, and experts from legitimate oil firms can be brought in to fix it. Then try BP execs for murder just like wew would anyone else who did something so horrific. Thank you.
