You are so angry but you don't care about the people would were killed is the explosion that cause all of this. Do you?

Greta,would you call yourself an enviromentalist? Do you belive that Corporations like BP are plundering the earth, for quick profit without much care to humans or animals in the area? Do you believe in Climate Change, Peak Oil?

Or is this one of those "Not in my back yard things" that like most on the Right don't care what Corporations do in poor countrys just don't shit in my yard.

Well Greta, what do you say to that since BP took a Big Dump in your Back Yard?

@valhala56 You seem to be a black and white judge of how someone on the "right" takes the environment into consideration.

@dcbama3209 - its not about 'drill baby drill' - its about WHERE we drill. The deep-water drilling wouldn't be such a problem if we could drill in shallower water. Instead, the environmentalist forced the drilled in deep water. If this had happened in shallower water it would be much less complicated to fix.

@bluestarchronicles EXACTLY!!!!

I enjoy your "positive" videos. I haven't seen all of your videos yet (smiling). Why now show concerned about the lake, and pollution from possible oil damage? Today the bordering parishes (STP) on the lake allows businesses and subdivisions with thousands of homes dumping raw sewerage into the lake for decades, possibly causing those "dead zones". Oil has been polluting wetlands from natural causes for thousands of years. So allowing the dumping of raw sewerage in the lake isn't as cynical ?.

@RightPunditsMedia Funny how conservatives who tend to "Black or White" about issues is pinning that phrase on a lefty. The reality is that the only "Environmentaly concious" Conservative are now suddenly on the Gulf Coast. Before this Diaster the Right Riducluled Al Gore & his inconvient Truth, You riduculed President Carter who tried to get us off Fossil Fuels 30 years ago. You wanted deruglation, unfettered Corportism & Capitalism. You wanted your Oil, now you got it.

@bluestarchronicles That's not true, recent reports of over 2500 abandoned wells in shallow water of the Gulf of Mexico. Most are not permantly sealed.

Yeah your right it is about where we drill, and reality is that BP would not spend $500,000 a day to drill in deep water if there was anyplace on land or shallow water to get the Oil.

It is right wing lie that enviromentalist forced this. But keep telling yourself lies, the truth is out there.

@bluestarchronicles - I'm right there with you. BP originally requested to drill in 500 ft of water. It was the MMS that told them to drill in 5000. I believe that the spill would have NEVER occurred if BP was allowed to drill in 500 ft.
