Oil Spewing

I’ m not going to sit here and pretend I know anything about the oil industry or its real effects economically and environmentally on a global scale.  I’m not a tree-hugger and I don’t know what “going green” even means.  I do drink soy milk because it feels better when I go to the bathroom.  I am however smart enough to know that 42 million gallons is a lot and that much oil spewing into our ocean can’t be good.  BP seems to be taking this pretty good and being treated with kid gloves pretty much.  Actually they are being treated better than that.  I spilled a half a can of oil on my dad’s driveway once when I was 11 and he spanked me so hard that the thought of dodging questions on capital hill for that would have been a walk in the park compared to the sting I felt for days.  Anyway, how can’t you stop the oil from spilling?  Isn’t that like the 2nd thing you learn in oil production?  1. Strike oil. 2. cap it.  What’s amazing to me is you can’t go to a BP and get more than $75.00 on the pump without the damn thing stopping before you are all filled up.  They can cap that!  How are these guys billionaires?  I think its time we take every BP exec and put them over the knee and spank them with the millions of dollars they should be forced to pay until they can stop this behavior and learn a lesson….
