Gulf Oil Spill

hello everyone
For the past couple of weeks i have been watching the news about the gulf oil spill with dread. When i first heard about the spill right after the rigs was burned and those 11 workers were killed i though. OK, they are going to clean this up or else they will face a major burn by both the American public and the government. 45 days in and those thoughts are long gone. First off there are the fixes that never works, i mean i know this was a far flung possibility but they should have had a plan in case the impossible happened. Top, junk shot, top kill, i mean these are fixes bugs bunny would come up with if he were running from Wily E coyote. They are so far out there in hopes of working that they should have been used a a last option when nothing else worked, now they are trying to cut the pipe on top of the preventer to put another top hat on there. haven't we seen this before. Secondly they should have had a plan set up for such a oil spill i mean they are doing things half way when this is a major catastrophe and every possible plan should be brought in. Burms, flotation devices, everything should be brought in to save not only the beaches but the marshlands, ports and espically the fishing industry. Finally what about the fishermen who are out of work, BP says they will help them out even the goverment has said this but the government of late had been a day late and a dollar short when it come to helping out these people. I think this is the wake up call people need to take a better look at clean fuels and clean ways to generate power. Lets hope a hurricane dont come or this will be made worse.

p.s my prayers go to the families of the workers and the people affected by the tragedy.
