BP,the Gulf

looking over the picture of the header,the beautiful beaches of Long Island,the crushing abomination taking place in the Gulf presently becomes all too real.Partisan politics aside,how can anyone try to defend this!?blind naked greed, greed that is beyond the dreams of Croseus , and still, the response is muted.What the hell is wrong with people?unless it literally touched their person it means nothing?how many times are people going to be hit over the head with a ballpeen hammer before they realize just who is hitting them?
