Does it seem that most Americans already find the current Gulf Oil Crisis boring? Do they just not want to see or hear about it?
I hope I am wrong but...
We need to open our eyes and minds!!!

I agree with the judge...doesn't make sense to shut down all the rigs just because one of them had a problem.
ReplyDeleteI see your point but, how many having problems would it take? I think the point is not that one had a problem but our inability to deal with one having a problem. We are now two months into the current problem and oil is still spewing forth. The economic impact of the spill may vastly overshadow any impact a moratorium would have, not to mention the long term environmental impact.
