This is beyond sad. The largest oil spill EVER, and it's only getting bigger. And realistically, no one has any idea how to stop it. The alternate wells they are going to drill will take about two months. TWO MONTHS! The oil slick will probably be in Key West by then. Anyone out there who subscribes to the "Drill, Baby, Drill" philosophy, let this be your "crude awakening." My new motto is "Clean, Baby, Clean." Is there anyone out there who still believes drilling off the coast of MD, VA, DE or any other East Coast state is a good idea? Just imagine this happening here, for months on end. Disaster doesn't even come close to describing it.

I just watched an interview of the BP President and their is still no solution in site. What I find really odd is how in the world 3 fail safes could fail. THREE. It's a mystery to everyone...
I know dude, it's absolutely shameful.
You know what I think? I think there IS a solution and I think it could have been stopped by now. I think they are trying to find a solution that will stop the flow into the ocean AND at the same time retain the ability to continue extracting the oil. I think they are weighing the cost of the clean up and any civil penalties against potential future revenue from that particular well.
I think this is a travesty. I also think the government knows this yet still gives BP the freedom to continue. It's all about money.
Hadn't thought of it like that Bob. I think you might be on to something.

I totally agree, there's more to this than spilled oil. Time will tell.
It is very, very sad, I feel like I want to cry when I read about it on the internet.
