    Many thanks to Julie Dermansky for writing and to themudflats.net for sharing this.

    BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil blow-out caused more than enough death and destruction in and along the Gulf of Mexico. The Corexit/dispersant is another whole disaster. All the PR that Big Oil/Big Business can muster won’t bring back what has been lost, won’t repair the damage done on the Gulf Coast.

    Seems to me that these Corporate Citizens should pay fines big enough to make them hurt, CLEAN UP THE MESS THEY MADE in pursuit of profit, lose their drilling/fracking/”exploration” privileges, and go to prison. For starters.

    I’m not looking to be raptured, myself; I was brought up to take care of Mother Earth and leave places better than I found them. What a shame that Citizen BP’s mama and daddy didn’t teach BP any better, eh?
