I clicked the black1 link on this site and after a few other clicks ended up somehow on JM's blog page. There is an entry on his blog about the BP oil spill and people. As is written.

Quote:
If this disaster exits the public consciousess without there being a 1:1 ratio of fault to accountability, then we as a nation will have demonstrated to our government (and the corporations whose interests they protect) that there is nothing we won't tolerate - that under any circumstances of wrongdoing, even one without moral or religious debate, we can be manipulated and made to forget. And if we allow that precedent to be set, there will be no turning back. They will know something no democratic government ever should: that no matter the circumstances, they can always fall back on the people losing interest if they can be distracted long enough.



I don't know if he personally wrote that one but is is something to "think about" if it is not already too late for folks in the U.S.A. Hopefully rest of the world will wake up. Good luck to us all.

There is nothing new there. The Viet Nam War the north could not defeat us so the held us off until public lost interest and opinion swayed. Just like Iraq and Afghanistan, instead of going in there with full power handed to the military telling them to unleash total destruction and win it we try to fight a war in a civil manner. This allows the enemy to just ride along and fight when needed and drag it on until we loose the heart to win.
The Tet Offensive in Viet Nam was a blood bath for the north but back home here you would have thought the opposite.

Sadly many are short minded and our enemies no it our elected officials no it.

9-11 How many care about that for real. We where attack by radical Muslims just like %99 of all terrorist attacks are from Islamic groups around the World. We let it go because we are told it's a peaceful religion, upset at the start let it go latter on. The next thing to worry about comes along.

With the BP thing what would John Mayer want to be done? Go after the oil companies more and the cost will just be passed along to the consumer. Then not only are the people harmed by the spill but then the rest of the public by the increase cost of fuel just spreading the misery to more. Sad fact is there has to be a balance, most don't have the money John Mayer has.
Also I read that when BP was handling the funds to those that have losses things were moving along better then when the Administrations officials took them over. More reason for the media to not talk about it. ( It's not Bush so don't say it!!!!)

our military (and all similar to it) is extremely ineffective by past standards and what the enemy can do. why? because they have to follow "war laws" (such an asinine concept)... so, bad guy with big $@! torture mega death is running at me, but guess what, i have to wait for the OK to drop the mofo and i cant use "inhumane" weaponry (again, an asinine concept in a war where the enemy seeks to make you suffer as much as possible). f**kin bureaucrats man... :?

No matter the circumstances, when any government is in charge of anything it becomes a complete disaster. Talk about accountability, where might that be in our governments today........it is non-existant. I am also starting to lose faith in our people...we seem to be more concerned about social networks, web-browsing, chatrooms and eating fastfood.... I wouder what would happen to our country / society if someone simply pulled the plug? Would we be wandering around with no clue as how to use a piece of paper and a pencil (and long division)......hopefully we all are not as dumb as we look.

:shock:

Always to the point CV. I'm just not so sure anymore about the "elected" officials. We will just have to wait and see how many dead people vote on November 2nd. If the results of the election 2 years ago are any indication we may have to have a new Mosque on capital hill for the turbaned bolsheviks newly elected (cough cough) to pray in.

Its the same in the UK, weve at last thrown out the clowns that have brought this country to the brink of disaster, financially and socially.

You know what the saddest thing is? the herberts in power now will make just as big a $@!& up of the whole thing and continue to blame the previous lot for it too. :shock:

Politicians.......usually (used to) start with the best of intentions until the snouts are burried deep in the trough.

rant over :roll:
