Lets not forget the true cost of that explosion. The 13(?) people that were killed that day.
And this was a state of the art rig.. new with all the most up to date safety gear. It didn't even use anchors.... kept it's position via GPS and thrusters.
I dislike (hate is a good word) our present administration. Yet, I find myself being placed in a very strange spot. I'm being forced to actually defend these dirtbags. Much has and is being made of the fact that nothing was done by our government at the very beginning... Well.. guess what?... It was NOT the governments job to do anything. BP said there was an explosion, that people were killed and that they were in control of the situation. No one knew about the broken well and the leaking oil in the beginning.. FEMA had no reason to do anything. Now they do, so lets see what they do and how they handle the situation.
I just feel so very sorry for the families of the workers that were killed. My prayers go out to them.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
