As the Oil Spreads, So Does the Blame
The people my mom works with wanted to know what I thought of the oil spill. Are there alternatives to: it's a catastrophe? In America, land of nutbags, there are always alternatives. Texas Governor Rick Perry called it an 'act of God' (BP has amassed almost as much power). But really, there is only one position. It's a disaster.
