Well, I have officially had it. I live on the Gulf coast, in Tampa, FL actually. I fish and I dive in areas throughout the Gulf. BP has ruined something that I love.
Now I hear that BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg cares about the "small people". WTF!!! That, in a nutshell, is the prevailing attitude of these motherfuckers. We are all Small People, nothing more than fucking bugs on their windshield as they drive to the country club. "Hey Gulf Coast, sorry about the ruining your way of life. At least it didn't happen off Monaco or I might be in trouble with the Big People".
I realize that he is Swedish and English is a second language but damn what a stupid thing to say. Didn't any of the assholes standing behind him read what he planned to say? They probably did but didn't see a problem with the phrasing.
My blood is boiling right now. I rarely write diaries, but come here to read them and the comments dozens of times a day. I had to vent in some way and figured this was as good as any as my wife is tiring of me yelling at the TV.
I hope all of you small people out there have a wonderful week and if you happen to live on the Gulf Coast head out to the beaches while you still can.
