Blaming everybody but ourselves.

I hope the environmental calamity called the BP oil spill doesn't get worse. But I know better. I see all sorts of scientific speculation. That the oil will keep spreading. All the way around the Florida coast. Up the east coast of the USA. Well out into the Atlantic Ocean. Even reaching the British Isles sooner or later. Yes, this is getting to be pretty serious stuff. A spill in the Gulf of Mexico doesn't merely stay there. It spreads and spreads and spreads. We humans are capable of destroying our planet. In little ways. In big ways. We contaminate the air. The water. Even ourselves. And we point fingers. We blame BP. We blame our politicians. Virtually everybody but our individual selves. --Jim Broede
