200,000 Gallons A Day

There is risk involved in drilling the deepest well in the world, in one
of the most sensitive enviromental areas in this country. They were
allowed to gamble on everything turning out ok. It didn't and now we
get to see the companies involved scramble around for a fix for this.

There is risk invovled in most innovative things Liz. Should humanity stop trying to innovate just beause there is risk involved?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Or, 'a ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what ships are for.'

A plan B wasn't in place before they drilled and, if some politicans hadn't been in bed with big oil, we could have demanded they have a
recovery
option in place.

Its my understanding there was a "plan B" in place. Sadly, it failed as well.

And who, pray tell, are these politicians you speak of?

p.s. " Honey, S*** happens" What kind of thing is that for an adult to tell a kid? Pitiful.

In classic Lizbud fashion, you fail to use an entire quote in context. Shocker.

Tell me... Is it wrong to teach a child the way the world really is? Also, recall your original question here included 'one day'. I would not explain it, that way, to my 2 year old. When she is 10 perhaps? Yes.

(ETA - Do you actually think I would use the exact words, "S*** Happens"? If you do... Wow, what did I ever do to you to make you think that? Disagree with you? No wonder you are so easily duped. LOL)

I am not going to shelter my child(ren) from the realities of the world. I will not rob her of future opportunites because I refused to teach her the truth. And the TRUTH is, bad things happen.
