In BP’s Defense

The ongoing tragic disaster of British Petroleum’s (BP) Deepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico oil spill is horrendous and it’s potential environmental and economic effects are so vast as to be nigh on incalculable.

In BP’s defense, however, there have been far worse, more damaging, and just plain more disgusting things to pollute the world’s oceans than a mere few million barrels of crude oil.

Amy Winehouse polluting the ocean - We’ll NEVER get that taste outta the water now
No! We’ll Never Get The Taste Outta The Water Now!

Of course, in Amy Winehouse’s case, while she would probably be as detrimental to the Gulf’s shrimp population as the oil spill, she’d probably add to the crabs population. ;-)

    Thank you, both for the compliment and for the link, though the link was a little scary. That, however, might just be my New Yorker’s prejudice against NJ and its residents.
