It has been over a month since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. It flows into the Gulf of Mexico slowy reaching Louisiana’s marshes. Over 60 miles of Louisiana’s shoreline have been oiled already. The leak will reportedly be plugged with cement and mud this week. Hopefully the oil will be finally stopped. So far about 6 million gallons of oil have spewed into the Gulf. At the same time scientists think the spill has surpassed the 11-million-galon oil spill that occurred in Alaska in 1989.

Humanity as a whole is the most despicable, destructive, greedy, hateful species on the face of this planet. We won't stop until every living thing is dead.
like every other life form on earth, we reproduce as much as we can and use up whatever resources we can without any thought to consequences. but unlike other life forms, we have become too successful for our own good. and this success is not going to last, because you cannot cheat the forces of nature forever...
what makes me sad is not that civilisation is going to crash soon, which may or may not lead to our extinction. what makes me sad is that we've taken so many animals and habitats with us in our descent to hell.
the guilty are not just people who use gas, but those who use other products made from petroleum, such as plastic.
also, those whose life wouldn't be possible unless others were using gas to bring them their goods or to keep them safe, i.e. shipping and national defense.
see the problem?
Agreement with everyone who implied that humans are gross.
