I can't believe I am doing this. Writing a diary that mirrors the title of one currently on the rec list (just left the rec list I guess). But I feel compelled to write a bit on this topic as I have frequently been frustrated by the response of many here to the BP oil disaster. And the reversal of the title was too good to resist (and I should add that I have nothing but respect for the diarist in question). The responses tI refer to are understandable in view of the magnitude of the issue, the general political situation, and the lack of a coherent and open response from those in charge. But they are also somewhat self-defeating. I'll explain.
