Amnesia or Willful Forgetfulness?

Four years ago this past Sunday, BP’s Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico blew out, destroying the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, killing 11 workers and setting off an uncontrolled oil gusher lasting 87 days.

By the time the flow was stopped, an estimated 200 million gallons of oil had entered the ocean.

Folks, have we forgotten so soon?

Are we supposed to sit back and watch it occur all over again?

Like a “B” Saturday afternoon horror movie?

It destroyed our beautiful gulf coast, turning it into a virtual black, sticky blob.

Don't we remember the devastation?

The beautiful water fowl with wings laden with black “tar”?

Or the once sparkling blue sea water turned into a giant mass of oil?

It's all gone now.

We weren't trustworthy custodians.

We deserved what we got.

Is America poised to do exactly the same thing?

The name may have changed. Good-bye Deepwater Horizon...hello XL

It's the same scoundrels ready to do in the heartland what it did in New Orleans.
