Destruction in search of profit.

Ah, leave it to profit-minded capitalists to find a way to turn the Gulf of Mexico into an oil cesspool. Yes, they invented a spigot that can't be turned off. Oil, oil, everywhere. And not a drop to use productively. Of course, the oil companies have always told us that drilling is safe. And politicians like John McCain and Sarah Palin shout slogans such as 'Drill, baby, drill.' With no outward concern for the environment. Because oil is money. And offshore oil frees us from reliance on Middle East oil. But look at what we've got. A polluted sea. The loss of wildlife. An economic disaster. And no way to turn it off. Capitalists sure know how to destroy the world. In search of profit. --Jim Broede
