Oil Spill Responsibility

I'm not a fan of the oil companies or very large corporations in general but I think BP is doing a better job than we would have expected.  At a minimum, they seem to be doing a better job than Exxon did in AK.  Maybe it is a population exposure thing.

As a nation, we have devolved to a group that prefers to deflect blame for things we've done, away from ourselves.  I place the blame for the spill on Us.  If I vote for representatives that fiercely defend big oil, I share the blame.  If I drive a vehicle that is larger than I need, drive it faster or more often than I need to, I share the blame.  If I don't fully support switching to alternative fuels, I share the blame.

I will live responsibly and with a clear conscience.
