and for no bloody reason at all are my thoughts on both the spill and the turnover of 10 Downing Street
BLACK OIL GULF 2010
Anyone surprised when Haliburton's name was connected to this disaster? anyone... anyone...
Nobody should be shocked that this has happened, and honestly as sad as it is, all you half to do is look at how many Republican cronies whose war chests are helped stocked by Big Oil, defending this practice of drilling. They care about the long term environmental impact by what they've done as much as Tobacco companies due about the health of people who buy their products. In which to say if they honestly were more concerned in doing what they discuss in developing "green" technology rather than putting their profit margin as their bottom line years ago, we would be in a much better position to not have to worry about events like this because the catalyst would not be off shore drilling direct tunnels for oil to spill into the oceans.
I'm not trying to sound like a hippie or doomsday predictor, I'm just a regular guy who has heard all the crap and not seen enough done to change things because to many people in the seats of power who can make the changes that are needed are more concerned with maintaining their power, income, or both.
It's a horrible situation, but it won't change until the people truly stand against it, and we all know the current status quo of the first word countries isn't about to change anytime soon.
PLEASE MUM, CAN I BE PRIME MINISTER?
I had zero stake in the election seeing while I retain British citizenship, I'm not on any voting lists beyond Canada or leadership of local Anime Conventions. But due to how close it could be, I had a window to the BBC election results page going while the results were coming in. And as they did I despaired.
Not for a Tory or coalition win, but because I hope the country of my birth doesn't follow the same situation the country I live in has lived with the past decade or so.
Canada has lived with a Minority Conservative government thru 3 elections now, and almost more if it had not been for the New Democrats or the Bloc Quebecois voting with them on a few critical times. If Americans think it's bad when you only have two parties and people fall into the "well, I didn't vote for him" you don't know the half of it.
The British Parliament is now only as strong as the Liberal Democrats are prepared to make it. and if there is any chance another election could be called where the LD's feel they would make out winning more seats.... well we will see how strong this coalition truly is.
Best of luck to ya too.
