    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL,

    Two stupid presidents, with coastal land about to be affected by an oil slick, are talking about immigration reform and how 'racist' the AZ law is.

    Hey Barack,

    Apologize for oil leak and it's affect on the Gulf areas, then we can talk about immigration.

    Morons.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    No humans were hurt during the posting of this message.

    What poppycock. "Doo doo happens."

    At least 99% of accidents are preventable. Accidents happen because people make mistakes. They get complacent and take shortcuts or fail to pay attention. Or they get greedy and use shoddy materials to save a few bucks. There are many reasons people make mistake, but as any halfway competent businessperson will tell you ..."doo doo" isn't one of them.

    The other one percent is caused by earthquakes, tornados and the like.

    Anyone, including BP...(which by the way stand for British Petroleum ) who takes refuse in "doo doo happens" is someone who is willing to accept mediocrity but not responsibility. Beware.

    HEY! Welcome back!

    Clearly you are taking the "doo doo occurs" comment WAY out of context. Good to see some things never change. LOL

    The question was posed as to how we explain this to our children.... You know, how to explain something like this to a younger child. (Feel free to make baseless assumptions here too....)

    While we are at it with the assumptions... Thanks for the (OK, I already knew it) insight into your worldview. Mankind CAN be perfected, we just need to regulate the 'stupid' people. Right?

    I heard on the news yesterday that the head of BP described the effect of the oil spillage on the Louisiana environment as "minimal". From other stories I've heard and seen on the news, it sounds like it has already gotten worse than "minimal". And not only for the environment, but also for tourism and fishing as a commercial industry.

    BP lies. They have lied from the beginning of this spill. They under reported the amount of the oil gushing out of the well, when they knew better.

    It seems like they are more concerned with recovering oil for resale, then
    stopping the oil from gushing into the gulf waters.
