BP RECOVERS HALF OF THE OIL LEAKING FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR

I had the opportunity to 'Like" the north American Continent, and so I did. I'm afraid to favorite it, since most any favorite of mine comes in second or third or worse. We're in trouble now. Big Oil has been busy greasing up the shorelines, to what end, I don't know. Evil no doubt.
I hope more people like our continent because its about to start circling the drain, well lubricated by 40 million barrels of BP's crude in the Gulf of Mexico. And did you hear the one about the federal judge in a Gulf state that owned too much oil and gas stock that he couldn't hear a case against BP. In fact, more than half of them, in their own financial disclosure documents, admit holdings that would present conflict of interest in such a trial. Without jurists, who is to protect the land? Legislators? otflmfao They have been sellouts for more than two hundred years. It is a continental disaster. It is a disaster of Continental proportions.The entire Gulf could end up so befouled that any catch would be toxic beyond consumption for decades or centuries. the BP disaster dwarfs the Exxon Valdez spill. What's left, The sunny waters off the California Coast? There are already wells there. Canada, Mexico and the US must quell, not quench, their thirst for gas and oil before the entire landmass slides into oblivion.

BERT SEZ: more taxes on petroleum based fuels. Carbon tax followed with a pollution tax heaped upon an emissions tax followed with a use tax and a mileage tax and more excise taxes on tires and rubber. WE MIGHT raise enough to fund a cleanup and provide universal health care too. Or at least those debilitated by their environment. We should legalize marijuana too and tax it at twenty dollars per ounce, Federal. The states can tack whatever they can justify for regulation and distribution oversight and tax collection costs.
