Gulf

(May 21)
Its been a little over a month since the gulf started gushing fuel. Undetermined amounts of methane and oil are making their way to the surface from the depths of the Gulf; it seems both goverment and private entities are powerless to stop it. The combined antics of BP, Haliburton and Transocean have dug a hole that no one seems to be able to dig out of.

Meanwhile our precious refuges are being soiled and ways of life marred. I cannot say whether the damage is irreperable, but, I can only imagine given the already depleted regions and poor economy. I can only hope that this will serve to highlight and finally codify the evolution that needs to occur. Crony capitalism is what has brought down the financial system and made a huge gulf between the rich and poor; Crony capiltalism is why the gulf is gushing.
