I know this is a GD music forum but I have to say, even though I don't know you guys personally, I feel close and have respect for you. I live in South Florida and I am an avid scuba diver and sort of a tree hugger. I am so bummed at what we have done to ourselves.
When I say "ourselves" I mean humanity in general. Although I don't have or feel direct blame for the spill obviously, I do play an indirect part as part of the system in general.
The thought that the gulf was just totally trashed keeps me up at night. My 10 year old daughter became the youngest certified diver in the state and one of the youngest in the nation. At age 7 she built her own turtle rescue website and actively rescues turtle. She is now on a kick to save the sharks. Look what we are leaving her generation.
I really thought when I was young that my generation was really cool and we would change the world. Well we did. We really fucked it up even more.
This sucks.
That being said, if we have the right leadership in this country (which is highly questionable at this point) we now have the opportunity to take our worst environmental disaster and turn it in to our most shinning moment by quickly moving to get off our oil dependency.
Thanks for letting me vent.
