The Sad Sad Oil Spill
Not really sure how I feel about this man made disaster but I’m for certain I am sick of oil. I am at an age (34) where I have grown up my whole life and all we ever talk about is oil. Oil prices when they skyrocket, politicians getting donations or boosters from oil companies or the simple fact the last 2 out of three wars were essentially for oil.
What saddens me first is that I strongly believe we suppressed the scientific advancement for alternative solutions because at the time the oil companies were steering the movement more to line there pockets rather then thinking for the future.

I will not get too bogged down with all the conspiracy nonsense or look at the past and get angry. The bad news is those companies and politicians got away with that nonsense in the old days. The good news is we are changing and changing for the better.
This article is not about me and it’s not about you. This article is for all the ones that can’t even read yet. Yes, we are now moving towards alternatives faster then ever before and yes it seems the world as a whole it paying more attention to the footprint we leave but for all intensive purposes we are not doing enough to ensure we leave this place a better cleaner planet for our children then when we were given it. The problem is as our awareness is growing so is the population.
Alright, so what is the immediate answer? Hold on let me check the black book. Well there really is no immediate answer but leverage is in the air and certainly in the water of the Gulf right now. I can’t understand where Obama get’s all this money from but hey I’d rather have a paperless debt then a destroyed planet for my children. Politics is simple the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Use this spill to demand that your local politician lobby’s for more money on alternative fuel research. Actually I think they should just get BP to use any of it’s profits for research for the next 1000 years. Any who, sorry to get off on a tangent. I have listed some sites below for donations that I feel will help the families suffering from this disaster.
