Duping the populace seems to be the whole pattern of private capitalism.

We Americans tend to have very short memories. All will be forgiven and forgotten as long as gas prices don’t go up!

Barack Obama sends nuclear experts to tackle BP’s Gulf of Mexico oil leak:

Something about this smells like Dr. Strangelove overkill.

Here we have an Oil Vampire puncture wound, spewing out, not only, flammable black liquid, with intermittent belches of highly flammable propane, methane; but add to this volatile cocktail the oxygen molecule within seawater, and the mindless overlords of science wishing to nuke the gurgling fountain beneath the waves.

What are these mindless brutes they attempting to achieve here; relocate the gulf coast somewhere up near Wisconsin?

Peace, Best Wishes and Hope

Can they really have enough dispersant on hand to have any effect other than to add more deadly pollutants?

****************

Now I understand why bp wants so bad to use the chemical
dispersants, especially since it could somehow keep the major
portion of the spilt oil deep in the water where ‘out of sight out
of mind’ really helps to dupe the unsuspecting public of what is
really turning into as worse a nightmare than would be
imagined.  On top of that the rate of loss of oxygen really
portends that the major damage is not yet calculable but bp
sure has the permission of a stupefied government willingly to
allow bp to use a chemical that no one knows what it will do to
the environment.

The only good thing I see is that this is happening in an election
year and it will pay wisely to listen to every candidate on his/her
view of this disaster and whether it favors the oil companies or
whether there will have to be a huge accountability and
rethinking of ‘unfettered’ corporate manipulations. Time is short
for some places as their ‘super tuesday’ primaries are scheduled
for this tuesday. Kind of like a disaster capitalism in reverse with
a ongoing environmental disaster to open people’s eyes to what
a person who they may vote for will be like in office.
