So we all know about BP, and their recent leak. Yep, that’s just what it is, a leak. One big effin leak. I’m not calling it a spill, because spill would indicate an accidental one-time event of spilling oil, for example, an oil tanker tips, and oil spills out. The tanker doesn’t leak, it spilled. Now the thing at the bottom of the ocean, that’s a leak. It’s leaking oil, from a source of oil (earth), and it’s spurting out from below (leaking). It’s a constant. Leaks are constants, until the oil runs out or the leak is plugged. A spill happens, and it ends. Oil may spread, but that’s it.

Now that I’ve gotten that taken care of, I wish to bring up something. We all knew oil companies were drilling massive holes in the ground (man-made leaks) that are meant to release (leak) oil from the source (Earth) in a controlled manner (leak-control). Everyone knows this (unless you’re part of a nomadic tribe in the middle of nowhere with little to no contact with the outside world). Everyone, INCLUDING the government(s), knew that there is a risk. So to lower risk, we create “blowout preventers” and other various forms of safety measures (emergency leak plugs). We also understood that, frankly, shit happens (feces take place). This means that these emergency leak plugs might leak, or not plug. So, WHY THE FUCK (fak) ARE WE DRILLING MAN-MADE LEAKS WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST POSSIBILITY OF SOMETHING GOING HORRIBLY WRONG!  This my air-breathing, bi-ped friends, makes no damn sense to me in the first place. So, here’s an idea: Plan for things to go horribly wrong. We’re taught this every day! For example, stop, drop and roll! The sad thing is that oil is flammable and by the time these leaks are done leaking, the world will be covered with oil, and I will have nowhere to stop myself from burning to death!  So, next time we let people create man-made leaks, let’s think about things going horribly wrong, and to stop, drop and roll while we still can.

Also, I watched a bunch of the BP CEO getting grilled by the government. Now you do realize that he has no fakkin clue what goes on in the rest of the world 24/7. He’s only been CEO for a few years. Why should HE have to answer for the other BP employees’ mistakes? It’s not his fault. It’s the fault of those lower than him. It may be his fault for not realizing that he is employing a bunch of idiots, but hey, what can the guy do? Instead of grilling the CEO, they should be grilling those in charge of the rigs and drilling inspectors, and those in charge of the design and building of the rig. So Tony Hayward, instead of letting government idiots grill you, let them grill the idiots at BP. Don’t be afraid to toss your CEO power in their face. It’s not like you designed and built the rig yourself. BP as a company is responsible for this, NOT the CEO specifically.

Anywho, that’s my short take on the situation. More later.
