"Louisiana isn't the only place that has shrimp," said British Petroleum rep Randy Prescott. His office phone number is (713) 323-4093, email is randy.prescott@bp.com. Give him a call or send an email! You can tell him and BP they aren't the only
place that has fuel for my car!

I've sent an email and I encourage each and everyone of you to do the same. These are the people making millions of dollars each year in just bonuses that have done this to our environment. it's time to hit them in the only place that they will feel it. BP stock is down almost 15% since the accident that killed 11 workers. let's drag it down some more and get their attention.

Going to post this because I find this interesting. I found this on Ryan Sohmer and Lar Desouza web comic "Least I could do" And I think a lot of you would like to know this as well.

Quote:

If what’s going on in the Gulf of Mexico sounds a bit familiar to those of us alive in the 70s, it should. It happened 31 years ago.

From MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow:

BP says it's waiting to see whether the top kill it started yesterday is working to plug the Deepwater Horizon. As of last night, BP said that what appears to be coming out of the Gulf of Mexico well now is drilling mud and not oil. It's a hopeful sign, anyway.

While we're all waiting and hoping and praying and getting madder and madder, consider a report from Deja Vu Land. In June 1979, an oil rig called the Ixtoc I blew up in the Gulf of Mexico. Amazingly, the sad and sorry tale of the Ixtoc oil disaster involves many of the same players and the same desperate techniques for stanching the oil gushing into the Gulf.

The oil companies keep talking about how technologically advanced they are, but what they have gotten technologically advanced at is drilling deeper. They haven't gotten any more advanced on how to deal with the risks attached to that. They haven't made any technological advances in the last 30 years when it comes to stopping a leak like this when it happens.

All they've gotten better at is making the risks worse, by putting these leaks further out of our reach. Wow, hey, congratulations. Now the thing you can't stop is a full mile underwater. That and making themselves the most profitable industry the universe has ever seen, and I am not exaggerating.

For those of you already checking out the Wikipedia article about the Ixtoc, please pay attention to the fact that it leaked into the ocean for 10 months before it was stopped. Already a month in to our present disaster, are we really going to let another 9 go by when all of this can be stopped by simply blowing up the well?

Considering that such an action would cost BP billions in unreachable oil, what do you think?

Here is the link to the web comic the same post is right below all you have to do is scroll down and you can see it.

Not one credible news source has carried this new urban legend. Some dimwit on facebook most likely made up this quote.

BP has 359 subsidiaries, you are most likely buying or using a product they have some stake in every day. You may not need to but most wouldn't know if they were buying it anyway.
