Ladies and gentlemen...there is corruption in the oil industry.
I know, I know--WHAT?!
But it's true. Apparently, all this time--when I thought they were being responsible businessmen and honorable custodians of the environment--they have been bribing government officials to let them do whatever they want, drowning Congress in money to prevent both regulation as well as alternative energy development, manipulating prices to engineer windfall profits, and cutting corners at the expense of the environment.
The question here is: What are we going to do about it?
The answer here is: Nothing, sadly.
The better question here is: What CAN we do about it?
The answer here is: Nothing, sadly.
And so the distressed ostrich tucks his little head into the bosom of Mother Earth and ignores the hopeless sadness of the world around him. Death will come soon, but not soon enough.
Until then, enjoy yourself, for Christ's sake, ostrich!
Take those jet skis out to Lake Havasu and tear some shit up! Throw your aluminum beer bottles to the wind! Shoot some guns in the park! Forget to feed your baby! Who cares! We'll all be dead in 50 years anyway! WHOOOOOOO!!!
