This is Your Fault

original

This is everyone’s fault. Regardless of if you had a role in the oil spill. There should not be one sole blame on someone, like the BP executives. It is our mentality towards oil, and short term views of the world that is the problem. Does everyone seriously think that this oil massacre is going to solve anything? If anything it is only going to open the public’s eye for a mere second about how we view the world. Humanity has a tendency to throw money at our problems then forget about it. “Out of site. Out of mind”. It is what happened with the flooding in the Philippines, the Haitian earthquake, Hurricane Katrina relief aid, the tsunami of 2004 in thailand. We have a tendency to donate money, throw a relief concert featuring up and coming pop icons so it can be “relevant”, feel good about ourselves for doing a “good deed”, then forget about it. Then we go through our lives ignorantly blissful to the problems that still go on in those places. The gulf will never be the same, but do you think anyone will care come October? No. There will be some other disaster for us to be good samaritans, or lack there of. Open your eye’s people. This problem is our problem. It stems from our thirst for oil and if we don’t wake up we’re all screwed… Correction. Even if we somehow wake up tomorrow and the entire world changes their lives to help make the earth sustainable we would still all be screwed. We have almost passed the point of no return for our climate. Wake up and do something. Care about the relief for places like this for longer than the news reports it. Do something, anything, to help ween our country off of oil and carbon based energy. It pisses me off when people try to transfer the blame on a single source, away from themselves. There is no single source, it is everyone’s fault. However, the world is too ignorant to admit that.

It is our fault for using the only viable source of energy available to us, as determined by the free market?

F*ck that. It is BP’s fault. Their MAIN JOB is drilling for oil, and they had NO PLAN for the ONE WAY in which their ONE FOCUS could go horribly wrong. F*ck them. It is not everyone’s fault just because we’re not out protesting every day to make all energy renewable. It doesn’t work like that. Your points of view are horribly, horribly naïve.

How is it the population’s fault that ONE corporation made a G*DDAMN MASSIVE f*ck-up?
