70,000 barrels a day into the fragile eco-system of Luisiana is not only criminal but pure disaster and .....this raises questions about off-shore oil drilling.

Complete Disaster! this is a result of unregulated capitalism. Profits first and safety later.

On a lighter note I wonder what would happen if this was happening at the Kenyan coast. I think, police would be trying to fight crowds of people trying to scoop oil with buckets.

50+ Days and counting. I guess nature has a way reaffirming it's supremacy over mans'arrogance. What worries me is how long the Obama took to react.

@Paul/Willing,

Interestingly,BP (British Polluters)will not allow pictures of the spill take.While at it,what would have happened if this was in China or Russia?

@ Njunge.
Howz this for a paradox?

As Brits (BP) are busy s****ing in America's frontyard, they're gearing up to launch a revamped eco-friendly London cab back home. [soma hapa]

Sweet, innit?
