This is what is important.

OK, top thing that is in my mind right now is the crisis on the gulf. This is driving me crazy, the goverment "will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop this crisis." <- is bullshit! Good President Obama went to the gulf, he went to Louisiana and he is "helping". how about he cleans a bird? Or, maybe pays for a fishermans family out of his pocket. This is a huge deal, and people dont see what a big thing it is. I work in a plaza surrounded by gas stations and one happens to be BP, and they still have steady business. Why dont the "proud Americans" stand up and boycott BP, make them pay for what they've done. http://http//www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/02/obama-gulf-oil-spill-speech_n_560319.html The president thinks hes helping, and even though he apologises to everyone that was harmed by this, hes not making a difference, BP is the one that has to pay for all of it. he could at least help in the animal rescue effort.

And speaking of BP, lets talk about something else that most people dont know, thier accident record, and saftey vialations.http://www.propublica.org/article/bp-had-other-problems-in-years-leading-to-gulf-spill. BP, has caused accidents that have killed hundreds of people and this will most likely be one of them. I mean come on, lets take a moment to count all of the different things that this one oil spill is going to mess up.

• First, I have to think about the animals. Have you seen the news fotage of these animals? Millions of birds, unable to fly, fish and sea life dying, this is not good for the ecosystem and these habitats (if this mess ever does get cleaned up) will be unnatural for years to come.


• Second, we need to think of our economy that is declining as is, and we are already in a recession. What effect is this going to have? Well, who wants to go to Florida with tar balls sticking to your thighs?


• Third, millions of fishermen are now out of a job. Them and their families will lose anything they have and thier entire livelyhoods are at stake.


• Forth, lets think of the fish market, prices of fish are already all kinds of high, just imagine what they will be especially if the oil keeps spreading.

Honestly the only place that is bennifitting from this is Disney World, because now people who already had reservations to go to Florida have nothing else to do with thier time.

So what am I doing to help? Well, after long thought of pouring black paint all over the local BP station here, and much fear of being arrested, I realized what I am going to do. A program sponsered by the WE ADD UP organization is hosting "Hands Across the Sand" Its on June 26th at Noon and its going to be great, we will have a donation bucket and will donate all the money to gulf restoration. It can be anywhere, at a park or beack or in your front yard, and I am really excited about it. http://handsacrossthesand.org/thankyou.php

Its going to be awesome!
