BP causes Extinction Event on world-wide scale
If this ever did happen, would our elite media whores actually tell us? Would we see the above headline?

I'm thinking no. They'll probably show reruns of Father Knows Best or possibly The Andy Griffith Show. :mad: :puke:

8. Hopefully, coverage will turn ala Katrina
They won't be able to contain all of the people capturing the images once the oil begins oozing inland and scores of wildlife begin to show up en masse.



Thank god for youtube.

10. It does not worry me, it is fear based, and is from bad actions.
So it is not from the side I think on, and from that concept nothing they do can change the drive for a better system with justice for all people, and dignity, and concepts of all people having value.

Simply put, nothing bad that is done by the bad part, even as a reaction against the bad part created by the actions of the bad part, can change what a person chooses to think is best. Fear and hurt can not be allowed to enslave, even by threat.

Although I do not think to much bad will occur, it would be better for all existence to not exist then for one to exist in a system that would lead to all existence not existing anyway. At some point better justice must be strived for or the effects would be the same either way, and without concern for time of events, then 'when' does not matter. So only the direction matters, and if bad claims to be able to hurt so that it can continue hurting, then the hurt in short term to turn to justice would be far better then any hurt over long term. And the short term hurt is hurting those that support wrong, while giving in would hurt those that are not doing wrong or are being treated wrongly.

Although I do feel for those having a hard time, that effect is not by people standing for good, but by bad trying to destroy, and the only thing it can destroy is itself.

Things must move to better justice, to stop the effects seen by rules applied back in lack of justice existence.

11. No laughing matter, but I had to double up when I read in the Daily Mail (UK)
Edited on Thu May-20-10 03:48 PM by Joe Chi Minh
that this oil 'spill' could end up as big as the Exxon Valdez! Someone said, a while back, that it had reached that size within 4 days. Bull-sh*tting for the stockmarket seems the likely explanation.
