The solution is simple, Ross. But it’s become the status quo for the pyramid scam we like to call Uncle Sam to be elasticized, enabling, and general all-round liars for sake of the fortunate 200. The solution is to put every able-bodied sea capable entity from the Coast Guard to BP to Halliburton to Saudi Aramco to Exxon, the Seven Sisters in formation, to the US Navy to work using every tool available 24 hours a day until every last drop is slurped and disposed of via the world’s highest sciences---& the Superfund to complete the job all the way down to the last feather and turtle egg and surf board should come directly from the top not the bottom or the middle. …Then start holding the high criminal assholes responsible, from the Bush Regime to Senators who bottleneck Congress and war from the inside like Whigs in parliament, to CEOs that run companies into the ground while making 300 times the workingperson’s salary and jerking inflation beyond ludicrous means, to suits who put people and oceanic lives at risk cutting corners in order to increase profit bottom line with impunity. The corporate individual entity is a doomsday device. What’s your solution, Ross? Sweep it under the rug while handing get out of jail free cards to white collar criminals and kissing corporate ass? If recent history is any clue, I suppose there is NO solution. Not in the America we live in now. The bad guys win, and they got more than enough monkeys in suits willing to dance the happy dance in their presence and keep shit strong and lodged firmly at the top. Good for you, man. Hug the grandkids and tell ‘em all about how we respect this great majesty, Earth, ..almost as much as cash riches and dubious power. We can all drive and fly and boat the oceans, but it is pure greed that keeps it from going down with due consideration. Yeah, I’m the shitbird in this thread. My hair’s not parted just right, my shirt’s un-tucked, and I don’t have my nose up the big stiff suit’s asspirations. But I’m plum tired of the word circus, and the criminals with political immunity. For the most part, Earth is a failed experiment. BUT it doesn’t have to be….

(In the apt words of Roger Waters) I reiterate…
