MSNBC is reporting two million barrels of oil may be spilling into the Mississipi river .This is in addition to the explosions of other chemicals in the area. The cocktail stew of chemicals and oil and the ongoing environmental disaster may yet have the longest term effects of all and may last well past many of our lifetimes.
Today Kofi Annan says it's time to take care of our environment and our planet. The implications of what happens when we don't, as in the coastline of the Southern US..is by now becoming increasingly clear. Time to stop subsidising special interests with tax cuts and time to start taking care of needs of the common man. We need clean air to breathe and clean water to drink...that would be a good start.
