Should I or Shouldn't I

Should I or shouldn't I have an opinion, a political opinion.  I have tried to not have any kind of political opinion on this blog and really what I'm about to say is not really political but morally right and out of anger and frustration.  This is to all the politicians and oil guys and blow hards.  I have been watching the news as has everyone else about the BP Scandal and all and it is just making me sick.  What I see is a tragedy that has happened in the ocean, not necessarily the US ocean but "OUR" ocean, the world.  It has affected us and the gulf coast so terribly that my heart is just broken.  The people, their livlihoods, their future, hopes and dreams are just crushed.  Their lives as they knew it are done, just done.  Our world will never be the same and I'm not just talking financially I'm talking about the actual world, the earth.  We as people of this earth are stewards of it and we have failed miserably to take care of it.  What is the matter here people.  I am watching the stupid hearings or whatever they are called with the BP exec on the hotseat and the congress people, blah, blah, blah.  He did it, she did it, they did it, I didn't do it, well neither did I, it's not my fault....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.  Is that all they can do is jabber.  Get out of your seats and DO SOMETHING.  I do not want to wait around while you hash out blame.  Put on some hazemat suits and FIX IT, blame later.  Politicians, all they are good for is talk, talk, talk but no do.  Stand up, move from behind the podium and DO SOMETHING!  This goes to everyone, right down to Tony Hayward and everyone involved, put on the bright yellow suit and WORK!  I cannot take another picture of an oil drenched bird flapping around, dying with the stuff.  My heart hurts by the sadness of it all.  People, stand up and pay attention to our world and how fragile it is.  We are killing this earth with this crap.

I'm right behind you. What scares me and upsets me even worse is that the leak is still NOT capped! Millions of gallons continue to pour out!

Amen! I think you succinctly summed up what so many of us are thinking.
