Louisiana lawmakers propose prayer to stop oil disaster →

vruz:

vruz: to demonstrate my support for the louisianian people, I will close my eyes hard, real hard, whilst quietly mumbling “it’s not there, it’s not there…” so that i can pretend it’s not happening.  maybe if I close my eyes hard and long enough it will cease to exist!

why worry about planning and managing risk when you can call god to clean up your mess for you?

also, mum… I’ve crashed your car.

I’m not making this up, it’s CNN, it must be true!

While cleanup crews and technical teams continue efforts to stop crude gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana lawmakers are proposing a different approach: prayer.

State senators designated Sunday as a day for citizens to ask for God’s help dealing with the oil disaster.

“Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail,” state Sen. Robert Adley said in a statement released after last week’s unanimous vote for the day of prayer. “It is clearly time for a miracle for us.”

I see America is in a lot more trouble than we realise

dxo: something-to-say: (photo: Jane Hahn for The New York Times) A cautionary tale for the U.S. With new estimates that as many as 2.5 million gallons of oil could be spilling into the Gulf of Mexico each day, the Niger Delta has suddenly become a cautionary tale for the United States. As many as 546 million gallons of oil spilled into the Niger Delta over the last five decades, or nearly 11 million gallons a year, a team of experts for the Nigerian government and international and local environmental groups concluded in a 2006 report. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 dumped an estimated 10.8 million gallons of oil into the waters off Alaska. So the people here cast a jaundiced, if sympathetic, eye at the spill in the gulf. “We’re sorry for them, but it’s what’s been happening to us for 50 years,” said Emman Mbong, an official in Eket. So when are we going to start doing some SERIOUS research into alternative energy sources? When are we going to stand up against this world greed? When are people going to realize that we have a responsibility to make sure things like this doesn’t happen? A human, ethical, and moral responsibility for the things that not only happen in our homes, but across the world?ALL of us. Not just a certain group of people. I hope this message picks up more momentum - because my feelings are the same. I TRULY AM fed up with oil companies shitting in other people’s backyards, and then walking away with a whistle and a jig. Yes the Gulf Spill is appalling, but the Niger Delta is a FUCKING DISASTER!

mikehudack: soupsoup: I thought Kevin Costner being mentioned as someone who wanted to help with the clean up of the BP Gulf disaster was some kind of Waterworld joke. Turns out he owns the technology for a device that filters oil from water and BP just purchased 32 of them.

topherchris: Just hacked together the OILY-AVATAR-O-MATIC! This little Tumblr Toy will add a layer of oil to your Tumblr avatar — just like mine! It’s great for showing your solidarity with the efforts of those trying to help out with the environmental disaster in the Gulf. It’s also great if you’re really emo and feel like you’re living inside a dark cloud with no escape in sight. Enjoy, friends!
