Brit's Opinion on BP Oil Spill.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/309451 Artical. Read.

In Mark Sappenfield’s yahoo article from Sunday June 20, 2010 "A Yachting Trip? The 10 Worst BP gaffes in Gulf Oil Spill" he states "The decision by BF Chief Executive Tony Hayward to spend a day with his family in England Saturday was perhaps defensible. Two months into the Gulf Oil Spill, some Americans might grudgingly admit that even a man charged with solving the worst environmental crisis in US history needed a d ay here or there to recharge the batteries"—Meh. I’d like to beg to differ. The man decided to go away, step back from this horrible crisis to on clean fresh untouched by oil water. What? Couldn’t be in the Gulf of Mexico? Oh ya that’s right BP oil is spewing out about 1.5 million gallons (almost maybe?) Each day destroy the ocean, destroying a years worth of shrimping, and fishing. And if people know me, I loves me some shrimp, and now prices may rise on shrimp I’ll be crakin BP skulls.

I decided to pick apart this article by Sapperfield because he says things nicely and of course professionally, where as I’ll break it down into lay-mans terms in regards of the real-ness. WTF BP?
Next was favorite line that was Haywards deep misunderstanding of American public opinion-or his dismal of it. Ya. Hi. There’s oil destroying America’s side of the ocean if not stopped it just might hit your precious yacht water, in England, which will make your boat dirty. Wait a second. Why are you even in America you British asshole? Don’t get me wrong to each his own and you can make your home anywhere with limitations of course but wow. You obviously don’t understand that we Americans don’t like being messed with. We blow shit up. And your actions show that you can just run home and away from the issue? Pff is that even professional? Not entirely. I understand that everyone needs a break, I need a break from my school work blah blah blah. But this is something that needs 24 hour attention. So I am sure England wouldn’t appreciate it we spilled millions of gallons of oil in the Isle of Wright now would they?
Oh, then this was interesting. "Small people" Ok, when did the munkins of Oz invade the Gulf of Mexico? Oh perhaps that what rich people call hard working middle class folk. "Small people" again quoted from the article "Spoken by a man who owns a yatch in Thailand (in regards of BP board chair man Carl-Henric Svanberg) the phrase "small people" smelled of rank class condescension. Swedes however, not that the word smafolket" in Svanberg’s native Swedish has positive connotation with under tones of egalitarianism" (for those this very long scary word at the end here means a beliefs in human equality especially with respect to social political, and economic affairs. I had to look it up no worries.) Woo. So these small folk here are the ones that get your fish you eat and the shrimp you enjoy at your lavish dinner parties with your caviar. Sad to think that the fishermen are really note worthy. Just small people you know. Where is their justice?
Oh, OH! The best part wow, the best part is how just after 6 weeks of this pure-hell madness Hayward exlaimes He wants his life back. "We’re sorry for the masive disruption it’s causes their lives. There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I’d like my life back" -Okay. The way he states disrubtion is like a noise child in a class room who only gets scoleded for his actions sits in time out for 10 minutes and then gets to continue playing with blocks. This. Is. Life. This. Is. Real. Welcome to the big adult life. You are in it Mr. Hayward. "Their life" meaning the shrimpers and the fishermen who now have no monthly income, who want THEIR life back? Blow me because you’re freaking out over your paycheck and now a smeared name? Excuse me Mr. Hayward do you know what a hard days work is? No I don’t mean breaking a sweat during a meeting and then signing your name on a piece of paper, no I don’t mean mind boggling smarts. Real hard psychical labor? I mean blood, sweat, tears and no joke– back breaking work? There are mens lively hoods that are now destroyed. I think BP chairmen should help the shrimpers and the fishermen by working. His personal comment was very insensitive and inconsiderate and rude. He is just worried about his ass because he got caught in a pickle, like his and got caught stuck in the jar and it wont come out. Ouchy.
As we continue with the article Hayward stated to the Guardian a British News paper that "The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume." –my face is utterly expressionless every time I read those words of pure ignorance. I thought you had to be some what well educated to be in a position this man has. I cannot fathom how this man can go to sleep at night peacefully and not think of the chemicals that are in the water, that are killing and destroying the natural habitat of the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. "Small things" can make a BIG difference. Like for example: having a baby. But, this is like cancer spreading through the ocean. My heart rips open every time I see a bird or a baby turtle being covered in oil that have died because people didn’t get to them in time. Its not their fault. Sucks. If I lived near you Ash I would be scrubbing birds and taking baby turtles home. Were are the animals voices? What about the fish and other aquatic life beneath the surface? Does justice have a voice? So much has been destroyed now, how many years will it take to get things back to some sort of normalcy?
Now its still unclear how much oil is really spewing from the bottom of the ocean. All we know is that its too much and it need to stop. But yet its scary because no one can seem to say or really predict how much is coming out. I am shocked that a large company such as BP didn’t have a really fully planned out back up plan in to a "what if" factor of an explosion. My heart goes out to the 11 workers families who perished from the explosion. But that just make any sense in how you don’t have a plan. Hell. Even plan B is a good back up plan for 87% of women out there. They always know where to go and what to do. (Or shouldn’t haha) but still.
What also pissed me off was that BP spent $50 million on a friggen tv ad campaign wow. Wait why? My hands instantly go up when I turn the channel and see it. Thank you Obama for telling them that the money would have been better spent on relief and damage claims. The sad part is that these commercials are nation wide to let everyone near and far know that BP is "trying" to make a effort to fix things. Hey, don’t say sorry to this Yankee. Apologize to those that are really being hurt by this like Ashlee and her family, to the fishermen excuse me to the "small people" in person. Actions speak louder than words.
