Even if I didn't win a cent from BP, I would like to stand by its corporate corpse and feel I helped purge the world of just a little piece of the evil lurking in it. You're right, no amount of money from their corporate treasury would ever right their wrongs. I am so worried about the ecological damage and the chain of events that are sure to follow for decades or even centuries.

You're correct about those on the right still proposing reckless drilling where companies admit they have no experience drilling at depths of 5,000 feel undersea and many miles below the ocean's floor. A conservative utopia is one where every square inch of our planet is being used for profit and to hell with the consequences of such a ridiculous plan. Conservatives openly laugh at creatures going extinct. I heard the republican god, Rush Limblah, say extinction has been going on for millions of years so it is okay for animals or other lives to go extinct, totally oblivious to the fact that all of nature is one big balancing act, and with man's affect on it, nature can ultimately tip it in a direction which could threaten our existence.

Conservatives 'claim' to be the 'party of god', but then they support every measure to defile and pollute the world God gave us. God gave us this planet to take care of, not exploit for wealth or power. There are plenty of resources on this planet for all human life, if only they were used properly and with restraint. But conservatives believe making money is the only true 'value' regardless of how it's made, while people who love the environment and animal life have no value, and are regularly condemned. Right wingers ridicule those who care about the environment calling them tree huggers or environazis. They are the true enemies of our planet and our species.

Unfortunately, republicans have mutated toward the radical forces of conservative extremism and the tea party gang, who are only able to see short term exploitations, and not long term consequences. The republican party used to have men of courage, conviction and intelligence. Now they are a menagerie of misfits and mutants espousing the most ridiculous and reckless things imaginable. Ignorance, hatred, racism, fear and rage are virtues to them....
