A friend of mine sent out the link with a worried expression of the fear for the Earth, the State we live in and the future. Here is the link I am talking about http://coyoteprime-runningcauseicantfly.blogspot.com/
When you read this blog I should hope that you will feel the same fear. Why is it that in a time when we talk about the 3 R's of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" could we allow so much oil to be dumped into the ocean without getting involved. We are not talking about a small problem. It may seem small or "not my problem" but do you realize how many industries are effected? Do you realize how it will eventually effect your life? Well, if you live in a state that is on the water like I do, like my friends and family do, then the threat is more real. Every single person in the world will eventually feel the effects of this situation. Whether you have "tar balls" on your shore or you feel the effects of price hikes or the drastic changes that will happen because of this oil spill, you will be effected.
I am not talking about the butterfly effect here. I am talking about the Earth being effected to the point of damage that is irreversible. Why is there a rich eccentric man with an idea to help sitting in the Mississippi waiting for the ok? Why, when nobody else has a true cure would we turn anybody willing to help away? Why, because maybe we want to look like we are our own hero's, the American Government that is, none of us are Super Man! We sometimes need another person or another country to find a fix, a way to help. Maybe, just maybe it will take every country working together for the health of our planet to truly fix this problem.
I think I just uttered an impossible idea. Would that ever happen? Would every nation come together to get rid of the oil in the oceans? Yes, it sits in one right now, well, not even an ocean. But how long will it take before it reaches every other body of water? Has anybody really looked at a map or globe? Those bodies of water may have different names but they are all connected! It could actually be argued that no matter how much land your country may have every continent is a large island sitting in a mass of water.
The connection is much larger and greater than that however. We are all used to living a certain way, having certain things and when we cannot have those things we tend to get angry. Well, I believe you will start to see this happening. How can a boat deliver you goods that your country does not produce if that delivery method is grounded? It may not seem that big of a deal yet but that can and will happen. The United States is stopping every boat for every industry from moving within the Gulfs shores. How long before it floats to Africa, Cuba, Mexico? Will these countries stop their boating industry from running? Will they steel more jobs from an already slow economy as we have?
Some of you out there might be thinking to yourselves that I don't seem very patriotic. I will argue and even fight for this country. I love the United States of America, I take the pledge of Allegiance very seriously and I stand behind my sons choice to serve this country as a soldier knowing full well that we are in a war that people do not particularly care for.
What I am is an Angry Earth lover who believes that the Earth should be our priority. I don't see any other planets that can provide for us, and offers us shelter, food bearing land and the Oxygen that we need to survive. I give you this last bit of information to ponder. Where does most of our oxygen come from? Answer the water that we are destroying with our greed for more oil.
