i don't know where you get off on telling us that we're doing "nothing"
the people of louisiana are good people and we wanted to drill and contribute to this nation that basically doesn't appreciate us for crap and has treated us like crap for decades even though we're the life blood of this nation (with the artery of the mississippi river and our willingness to extract oil/gas)
if not for us (and texas) you'd be choking in a cloud of chemical smog right fucking now, because the alternative to oil happens to be coal and has been for over one hundred years
do i sound testy? it's because i am -- more people have volunteered to put up barriers and to clean oiled animals than they can use, NOBODY is doing NOTHING by choice, but the fact of the matter is, this was a BIG disaster caused by technology and it needs major tech to clean it up
volunteers are literally being told there isn't room for all of them
so don't sit there and tell me about the "common man" doing nothing when you have no clue what you're talking about, and you're meanwhile cooking food, air conditioning your home and putting gas in your car like everybody else
sometimes the most helpful thing a person can do is get the heck out of the way of people who are doing the emergency work, if that's doing nothing it's somehow more positive than making a nuisance of yourself by tearing down people who are trying to do SOMETHING
this is bad, it's really bad, and screaming for blood doesn't help anyone or anything, we need positive suggestions not "let's all riot and show our asses and put ourselves in the wrong"
