Oh BP....

Alright, it has been a while. I fail. My resolution did not pan out, but hey, life can get in the way sometimes. But now, I am currently unemployed, taking summer school, and reading the Pelican Brief so I think I have some more time to discuss what's on my mind.

So I've been trying to come up with something clever with the initials BP, because well, they are on my list. The biggest oil spill in history just keeps getting bigger. Seriously? Now I realize that it is probably pretty tough to stop a gushing leak of oil, but while you are continuously failing to stop the leak, wildlife and ecosystems are dying. Yesterday I read that it will take until August to completely stop the leak. August?! That's two months away! How many more animals are going to have to die before it is fixed? And what about water industries that are suffering? Get it together people.

I will forever boycott BP gas stations for as long as I live. Our environment is already being destroyed enough as it is, but this should have been prevented. I acknowledge that mistakes happen and oil is a dangerous thing sometimes, but plans should be made for these situations. And if they had plans to begin with, then better plans. BP should be utterly embarrassed and really shape up after this oil spill is resolved. But the damages from the spill will take years to recover from. This is all the more reason to start lessening the dependence on oil.
