A Break from All the Cuteness to Express Some Mommy/Human Outrage!

I was listening to NPR this morning when I heard a disturbing report that said that big oil company BP was given the green light to dump tons of toxic chemicals into Lake Michigan in order to pave the way for their expansion.

You can read the whole article here.

This is absolutely sickening! I cannot understand what type of mind thinks that this is a good decision, to pollute our freshwater and our environment in the interest of making money. Do these jerks really think that they are exempt from from the consequences of their actions, or do they think that their piles and piles of money are going to protect them and their families from the damage they are doing?

When I see people behave in such a short-sighted and entitled way, it makes me think that all the rich CEO's know something we don't, like that they have already begun to colonize another planet or something because they sure act like they wont be absolutely F@*cked along with the rest of us when this planet finally has enough and snuffs out our ungrateful behinds.

If you are as outraged and appalled as I am, I encourage you to do something, anything to have your voice be heard. Write to your local politicians, protest, definitely BOYCOTT BP!!!!! (And perhaps all oil companies for that matter...) Walk when you can walk somewhere, ride your bike.

We just cannot let this stuff keep happening.

Rant over. (for now)
