BP - need I say more?

Posted on | May 21, 2010 |

The BP oil spill - not so much a ’spill’ as a ceaseless cascade of noxious filth, poisoning everything in its ever-increasing path - has evoked very little real public outcry or response.  I suggested on Facebook that it was time to boycott BP, and the response was good, but not loud or outraged. I was disappointed.

Then I went to my spam filter and deleted dozens of items that were also annoying and filthy, as well as toxic, and it struck me - we’re constantly being subjected to this sort of assault.  It seems that from every corner toxic items arrive, daily.  BP is just the most recent of a long series of insults to our overall environment.

Oh dear.  It looks like we’re accustomed to all this.

Are we beyond help?
