Ungrateful, That's What.

Commercial fisherman in the Gulf are complaining that their way of life may suffer or be lost all together. In fact all manner of business people and their employees are complaining about the tremendous losses they are and will endure. What ingrates. Don't they realize that the oil industry is experiencing losses to their profits? Why, just the other day I say a commercial by an oil company that said it's industry was in deep trouble because they weren't able to continue drilling more deep water oil wells. For Pete's sake, have some pity on this undernourished industry. It's suffering too. With drilling off-shore all over the country, even in the Arctic. on hold, how is a poor mega-billionaire to make ends meet? You'd think this oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was their fault. All they did was construct a drilling operation even they felt was somewhat suspect and then continue to a drilling plan over a mile down, with no plan to correct a problem if one happened. How were they supposed to know that a problem could occur? Now, to be fair, it wasn't every oil company that this happened to. It's just one. All the other oil companies are stellar citizens who would never put profit ahead of safety. Well, alright, maybe just a little profit. Maybe twenty or forty billion, but no more. At least for now. But the point is, this could cut into their profits. You know what that means? They won't be paying us any taxes. Oh. Wait. They don't pay any taxes anyway. Well, that's beside the point. So, don't be so ungrateful.
