The oil spill from the Deep Horizon is devastating the economy and environment on the Gulf Coast. BP has demonstrated that they were not adequately prepared to handle a spill of this magnitude as they claimed. BP has, also, shown that they did not have the technical knowledge to stop the oil from spilling into the Gulf. We cannot afford to be caught sleeping at the switch again.
This is not the time to play the blame game; we need to learn from our mistakes and fix the problem. The problem is that we do not have anyone that can take charge of the situation with the expertise needed to stop the leak. It would be great to have someone like John Wayne in Hellfighters step in and fix our problems.Wayne played Red Adair who made his living putting out oilfield fires after accidents. Well, there is not a Red Adair to fix deep water oil spills.
No one likes to pay taxes, but let’s bring some of that money home to help invest in our community and our people.
We have all been through a lot the past several years. From Hurricane Ike to the financial crisis that we are still feeling the effects of today; we have been hit with some hard times. It is too easy to point the finger at someone else or our government, and blame them for our problems. We are Texans and we are independent. We take responsibility for our own lives and we fix our own problems.
It is up to us. If we choose to invest in our community; we can provide opportunities to recreate our own land of opportunity. I personally know the struggles of creating a better life for you and your family.
