we dont need the oil industry. there are alternative resources out there that DONT harm the environment. maybe you should go back to school for a better education. and humans dont have to "consume" to survive. every animal on the planet earth works in harmony with the earth. there is no reason we cant do the same. we have the technology to do so easily. industrial waste is killing the planet and its pointless. I understand that we wouldnt be as advanced without them but now we are advanced. and now we have the means to sustain in harmony with the planet. your a fool to think that OIL is the only answer. the same people that lose their jobs can find new ones in other fields that will repalce oil. if you replace the need for OIL you still have jobs waiting in the specific feilds that would be replacing it. its not like OIL disapears and thats it. what a dumb reply.
The truth of the matter is if there was better oversight of the government, this wouldn’t have happened. But that’s not the push you are hearing. You’ll hear more control over private rights instead of more control over the government.

Yeah, I guess the methed up and bribed inspectors were not enough. I guess we should have some more methed up inspectors. That will stop it next time, right?
Here is the thing, you know how you stop crap like this? You use the rule of LAW and throw those in prison that have caused this crap.
THAT is how you solve this. Not making government bigger with more regulations and more control. That is what they want, the corporations I mean. The more regulations the less chance of competition and of course we KNOW FOR A FACT that the huge banksters and corporations can get away with STEALING 27 Trillion from the idiot slaves and they will CHEER when their kings force them into a deeper slavery.
IDIOCY.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

pretty horrible thing to fake, but not impossible i guess, anything is possible.
I'd like to think this was a horrible accident, but maybe thats just me wanting to believe people are generally good in this world.

i can see his/her point. If it is all faked, then what is really going on may be FAR worse than just environmental catastrophe.

I stated the abiotic oil theory when this began.
5000 ft below the ocean surface and another what, 20,000 ft below that. Fossil fuels CANNOT exist that low. Sorry folks, you have been lied to from kindergarden. The main source of oil does NOT come from pretty dinosaurs.
