BP- Big Problem
Jun 5th, 2010 by Mike
I am getting just a touch frustrated by this oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – and I don’t even live there.
How can you not have a backup plan?
Our cat has a backup plan. When she goes outdoors she knows where the nearest tree is, in case a dog comes by.
I expect big oil executives to be smarter than my cat. And maybe that’s my problem – unrealistic expectations.
So here is what I think we should do. Take a nuclear sub. Dismantle the torpedoes and stuff them with the big oil executives. Fire all of the torpedoes at the hole and see what happens. Some of the more astute of you (Fred in New Orleans) might have noticed that the torpedoes would work just as well without the executives – it just makes me feel better okay.
In all seriousness, as the primary intelligent life form on this planet (I am doubtful about this sometimes), we have a responsibility to be the environmental stewards of this planet. It’s time to step up to the plate and be responsible.
Epliogue:
Big oil executive: “Hey what are you doing?”
Dolphin: “We are dumping oil in your pool. See how you like it.”
