There is a great horror unfolding before us as our Earth Mother continues to hemorrhage oil into the Gulf.  Of course, the immediate danger is all the life living in the Gulf.  Then it expands to the life in the Atlantic as the oil is carried up the Gulf stream into the Atlantic, which reaches the shores of Western Europe… and eventually, if we are somehow unable to join together to stop this rift of the hemorrhage of oil – eventually all of our waters, which are interconnected, will become tainted in varying degrees.

This is not something we can ignore with the belief “it won’t affect me, because I live…”.  We all depend on water, and if our oceans are full of sick, dying, and dead sea life, we are most directly affected.

Over the last week, I have had the opportunity to work on organizing a comprehensive list of the major green organizations around the world.  I have so far visited over 90 websites of such organizations, and most are quite impressive.  So now I ask myself: we have the technology, we have the interest.  What is preventing all of us from banding together and creating a definite solution to save our planet from extinction?  Is there not a way to overcome the political mumbo jumbo BS that essentially translate into: how can the major company giants who control the top 95% of the finances (and resources) around the world benefit, which in turn support the operations of our government the same way it has through the decades (and which created this mess)?

We are sadly past the time of delicate political maneuvering.  Action needs to be taken immediately to prevent further contamination of the water.  I am so deeply saddened and concerned by the way our governments have completely failed to recognize that if we are all polluted to death, what use are all the financial benefits in the continued, unabated exploitation of our Earth Mother?  If some balance isn’t arrived at (that means taking actions that are not based exclusively on the amount of financial benefits gained) – we ALL lose.
