Six Months Later, an Oil Disaster Spreads Across the Gulf
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
BP is still in operation, no criminal indictments, and a drilling moratorium that was lifted with absolutely no pushback. Obama & the DLC-controlled Democrats have learned the lessons of the Bush administration very well: If you want something badly enough, just keep at it until you wear opponents down.
Like all scandals, once the spotlight is off, without strong advocates (and a president with integrity) it goes back to business as usual. The spotlight doesn't even have to be turned off. It can be dimmed. Or other controversies can appear with their own spotlights, to share the stage.
Unregulated capitalism is a parasitic meme that is destroying us. With the Deepwater Horizon explosion, the greatest fear of this disaster is that enough phytoplankton were k!lled to alter the earth's atmosphere, pushing it from ecological disaster to extinction level event. And if it hasn't, transnational corporations will do a collective "WHEW!" and continue on, "business as usual", shrugging off regulations, until they actually succeed in k!lling all living things on the planet.
