a few weeks ago, we had a press quote from, of all people,
Fidel Castro. He said something similar to:
The US has allowed corporations to get too big to keep
them under control.
If you are living under rock, maybe you haven’t heard of the
oil ‘spill’ in the gulf of mexico. I have spilt any number of beverages,
beer, soda, water, tea,coffee , and have taken a few spills from
my bike.
Somehow calling a ‘gushing’ oil well seems to defy the logic of
the word spill. In the most recent events, think of the Icelandic
volcano ‘spewing’ ash . what is the difference ?
you can see the ash cloud. you cannot see the oil cloud,
one mile under the water. without a camera.
each day for the last 6 (8?) weeks, we have news reports of the
oil spill.. i can’t recall any spill of mine ever lasting more than
a few seconds.
A gusher. A blowout. A geyser. An environmental disaster.
nope. it is an oil spill.
