BP disaster

What a cluster f**k! Don't corporations ever have contingency plans for disasters like this? I am incredulous that in this day and age that this oil plume cannot be plugged. We totally reap what we sow, we have abused this planet to the point where we deserve this disaster. Nature doesn't deserve it, those poor sea creatures don't deserve it. It is our inability to look beyond our immediate needs to a future world left for generations to follow. Drill baby drill is the stupidest most shallow comment any American can make. All we do with increased drilling is prolong the inevitable decline of our country. China gets this and is a leader in alternative energy, other countries get it and are building wind farms. What does America do? We drill deeper and deeper, in environmentally rich areas, wherever we can. Doesn't anyone understand with our dependency on oil we are beholden to others to satiate our appetite. We as a country must demand accountability from corporations, be they Lehman Brothers, AIG, or BP. Government must enforce its laws and not become a pawn for misguided corporate profits. When do we wake up to all this corruption and quest for higher and higher profits. I guess when we are out of oil. BP can teach us a valuable lesson - only if we are willing to learn it.
