Haven't we done enough to our ocean and all of those poor sea creatures.

Breaks me heart, my prayers go out to them.

Noted with such sadness for what Man has done!

Remember, now that corporations have personhood status...as the report says...they'd all be psychopaths.

Gosh... this is absolutely disgusting... they should get their "broom and pan" and start cleaning up this huge mess... we don't need a carpet of oil in our seas

Australian's do more to clean up their oil spills than the American people."Exxon Valdez-Prince William Sound,Alaska.

This is because they refused a rig from another company. They should be fined their daily profts for the entire company for each day that this oil spill is continuing. The money would then be available for the essential clean up and research that will need to be done. They then need to fine the directors who refused the rig of their personal profits.

Environmental disasters need to be taken more seriously!

Thank you, Cher. This is a tragic and desperate situation that we are witnessing seemingly everywhere as ocean life is struggling to survive. It is thanks to people like you and those of us here on Care2 who can get the message out to those who can do something about it or those who are simply uninformed and would be inspired to join the cause.

Oh arrgh! The oceans are the foundation for all life on the planet - why do we put ourselves and the entire globe at risk like this? Aren't we supposed to be the ones with the big brains and the reasoning skills?

HOLD ON THERE. WE AREN'T THE ONES DOING IT JENNY LYNN. ACCORDING TO A LARGE PSYCHIATRIC STUDY CITED IN THE BOOK "THE SOCIOPATH NEXT DOOR", AROUND 29 PERCENT O THE POPULATION ARE SOCIOPATHS. THEY ARE "WIRED" DIFFERENTLY THAN THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF HUMANITY. THESE PEOPLE REALLY ARE INCAPABLE OF HAVING DEEP CARING FOR OTHERS. THEY ARE VERY SMART, JUST THE SAME, AND CAN BE CHAMELEONS TO ACQUIRE POWER THEY CRAVE, IN ORDER TO MANIPULATE OTHERS. FOLLOW THE MONEY AND TRY TO SHUT EM DOWN..

WHAT GETS A SOCIOPATH TO STOP WHAT HE OR SHE IS DOING? LOSS OF REPUTATION > THAT AFFECTS THEIR POWER STRUCTURE > WHICH AFFECTS THEIR PROFIT MARGIN > WHICH AFFECTS THEIR PERSONAL LIFESTYLE > WHICH FINALLY AFFECTS THEM.

GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP WONDERING WHY THE EARTH IS BEING PLUNDERED. A SOCIOPATH ONLY NEEDS ONE REASON - "BECAUSE IT CAN BE".

STOP THE LOBBYISTS WHO WORK FOR THEM, AND GET THE SOCIOPATHS OUT OF GOVERNMENT. THEY ARE ENACTING LAWS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND NO ONE ELSE, EXCEPT THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEIR POWER STRUCTURE. THERE CAN BE NO MORE POLITICAL APATHY. THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T GET CAUGHT, AND AREN'T PUBLICLY EMBARRASSED AND PUNISHED.

JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND - NO POINT IN BEING SAD, IT DOESN'T HELP - BE FOCUSED IN GETTING THEM OUT OF POWER, SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN GET THIS CLEANED UP!!!!! IT REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY, BUT IT'S JUST A FACT OF LIFE, THAT WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND DEAL WITH. I THINK WE CAN - DON'T YOU.
