This is one of the more amazing videos out there about what a load of crap we are being fed by our <Ahem> Mainstream Media.

If British Petroleum actually hated us, they couldn't have figured out a better way of screwing us over than the clear neglectful attitude that they held toward "Oil Accidents."

This woman really lays out how simple it would have been to have had the Booming Material on hand.

Also, if you are offended by potty mouths, do note, she swears like a sailor, so this video may not for you.

But by watching, you'll see that this is an industry that could not care less. As she says, most of the men ditch the "Booming class" and head for the bars, while their superiors sign off on them attending. Why would we actually expect the oil industry to look out for our environment, OR for the fishermen.

Or for this nation?

4. Gotta get this as much exposure as possible. It needs to be talked about at all water coolers

in all places of employment in America.

2. WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it could be shown on every news show in the country....even with the "language"...

But even if it can not be shown ON TV, the media talking heads should be able to view it..and FOLLOW UP on what is being said!!!!!!

10. It really is very powerful. And I too hope that someone gets ahold of it.

Rachel? Anderson? Keith?

Somebody...

3. She doesn't swear like a sailor. She swears like the idiots she tries to school on boom use

Obviously, the workers and management deeply resent being made to go to ' fucking boom school' and she is fucking fed up with their fucking attitude. (did I do that right? ;) )

8. Thank you for that link, too. I had heard a long time ago, via

A Rolling Stone article that in Scotland the oil spill response is different,(as in Better!) so I hope this video and its companions shed some light on that.

11. That was from 1990!!!??? and yet.......NOTHING in it made any difference to what has

happened since....I am sick to my stomach!!!!!

9. Truly I tried to look back in time to see if it posted before.

But a lot of people on DU are taking mini breaks from politics as the situation in the Gulf is just too painful. So I missed it, the other go arounds, and possibly others did as well.

I would love to see it get into Olbermann or Rachel's hands.
