Since I lived most of my life along or near the Gulf Coast, the BP oil disaster has truly saddened me. I think what saddens me the most though is how everyone is looking at BP as the cause, and at BP and the government for the solution.
But shouldn't we all accept responsibility for this terrible event? Isn't it our own need for oil that contributes more to this than anything else. We are the ones that WANT oil. We are the ones that USE oil. And we are the ones that want more and more of it on a daily basis. We don't seem to care where it comes from. We don't seem to care about any environmental issues. Just give it to us, and give it to us now! And now, we blame the oil companies and the government instead of our own need and greed. Yes, I think that is pretty sad - pretty sad indeed.
