OIL

Here in New Orleans, the news is all about that BP fiasco. Fiasco puts it mildly.
 
I've been blogging about PTSD as I experienced it several times since Hurricane Katrina.
 
Now, my city is in intensive care - again!

BP's careless and greedy actions have created new and worse PTSD cases; more will follow.
 
Taking responsibility is small potatoes compared to the disaster. K-2 (the second Katrina) has longer-ranging effects than the Army Corps' levee lapses made clear by that storm.

I cringe every time the word 'spill' is misused. Milk spills. Oil gushes. 

Audacity calling that disaster, 'spill.' It is PR manipulation. Who cries over spilt milk? No biggie, just a spill. This is exactly a biggie. 

BP must address their error with every fisherman, tour operator and waiter ... whose life has been torpedoed. BP's substantial profits will go a long way toward make-goods. 

BP PR honchos should earn their keep and "persuade" corporate "to do the right thing;" But, they are the same PR people who have kept the word "spill" afloat. 

Kudos: Billy Nungesser and compatriots.
