We all feel pretty helpless to do anything useful about the Gulf Oil Rupture. I do anyway. I’m not a marine biologist, I don't know anything about oil drilling, I'm not a lawyer, I don't control the Coast Guard, and President Obama is still not taking my calls.
But I'm starting to believe that overwhelming outrage might actually succeed in making a difference in this case, at least for the future of oil, off shore drilling, and BP. If we can ratchet up the outrage through the spread of legitimate information, then we are doing something.
One of our fellow Kossacks inspired me to contribute some outrage making substance to the fight. With help from my partner, we converted (with permission) Fishgrease' diary "DKos Booming School" into a hard-hitting, dramatic, outrage-producing video.
Now we need your help. Please view this video, link to it, forward it, embed it, share it. Help get it out there, while it is still so relevant. There is plenty of blame to go around – BP, the Oil Industry, Federal Government, Coast Guard, the Media. Help make outrage go viral and perhaps we'll change things for the future.
Watch out for the language in this video – it's not for pussies.
And Fishgrease, thanks again.
