It is a wonderful opportunity to practice Aparigraha. <br /><br />(NOTE: Big Oil has historically bought up all forms of alternative energy and put them on mothballs so they wouldn't have any competition. They are not blameless here).Kali Omhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894954154616740001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-30987528836272524092010-06-14T20:01:32.682-04:002010-06-14T20:01:32.682-04:00Sorry, I have an idea to pose about the same sente...Sorry, I have an idea to pose about the same sentence... Do you think it's really "the company" that caused the problem or perhaps us, the consumers? It's definitely easier to say it's them, but it seems the reality of the situation is that our unnatural hunger and obsession for the unsustainable, natural resource of oil is at the root of this issue; our lifestyle and need for comfort...The oil companies are just supplying us with the oil we demand. Until we are ready to go one on one with ourselves and take full responsibility for our actions, on a personal as well as unified global-community scale, it will never be fixed, it can't. We are headed for disaster and too comfortable and ignorant to really even acknowledge how guilty each one of us are and the role we each play...The gulf is simply one of the many symptoms that go on all over the globe every day from our rape and exploitation of it..we are guilty, every single one of us caused this...every time we drive our cars, turn on the heat, swipe our debit card, fly to new and exciting destinations...people suffer, we cause death and destruction in our path, and the planet gets destroyed. Why is it that most of us are blind to this idea until it's presented to us? then the light starts to come on and it's like oh, yeah...that does kind of make sense...it's like we're all living in denial from the obvious...but i guess we're supposed to be, huh...maybe it's all part of the big master plan...hail to the kali yuga!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-56395698834247641112010-06-13T22:37:13.781-04:002010-06-13T22:37:13.781-04:00Why would you allow the company that caused the pr...Why would you allow the company that caused the problem to solve the problem? It's b/c the U.S. govt has no idea how to solve the problem! People think government has too much power... I might agree with that when it comes to the individual (Patriot Act anyone?), but as far as regulating big corporations, the U.S. govt has no teeth... whether it's the FDA trying to regulate big pharmaceuticals or USDA dealing with meat packers or EPA and Mineral Management Service with BP. The government has a cozy relationship with many of the big businesses it's supposed to regulate. it's very disturbing.
