The problem is that the BP oil fiasco is being treated by both BP and the U.S government as a public relations problem to spin as positively as possible. There is no easy solution to the ecological devastation which has been caused by a criminally negligent corporation. Cleaning dying birds and dolphins, wiping oil off of slicked marsh grass, using toxic dispersants to mask the extent of the oil being released and the miles of Gulf waters that have been destroyed for decades ,are all part of a coverup conspiracy between BP and both local and Federal agencies. The extent of the callous coverup, leads to forbidding cleanup worker's respirators which has led to 20% of the workers becoming severely ill( according to a report on Keith Olberman of MSNBC). Pods of dolphins and countless whales,sharks and other marine creatures are dying lingering deaths while the national media is observing a no fly zone, and being chased off by BP security thugs on shore. President Obama has been impotent and deceitful in this petro-Katrina crisis, he has acted like BP is a responsible partner instead of seizing their corporate records ,arresting the guilty, and indicting the merchants of death. The oil companies have long owned the politicians of the Gulf Coast to the extent of ignoring the health of millions by murderously polluting the region with cancer causing fumes spewed into the air and waterways by their refineries and pipelines for decades, the toxications of fresh water resources and the poisoning of the earth itself. Now,it is as if miles deep, Mother Earth after being stabbed and raped by ManEvil repeatedly , and her life's blood is spurting forth in an defensive counter-attack to beat back the human onslaught.So far ,all of man's efforts to halt and close up the Pandora's Box that he wrenched open in greed and arrogance have been pathetic failures. It is the absolute stupidity of man's efforts and the pathetic inadequacy of the response that the oil executives and their whores in government and the media seek to hide. So, let us just remember that its probably much worse than we are being told, that the truth may never be known, and that the results will be obscured and lied about for generations to come despite the obvious evidence that will degrade everyone's existence . If we listen closely ,though, we can hear Morrison's " scream of the butterfly."
