We have failed miserably as stewards of this earth.

I weep.

I weep.

I weep as I look at these photographs taken by Washington Post photographers.  My heart physically hurts for the wildlife, the shores, the water, our earth.  The kingdom that lives above and below the waters, these fragile ecosystems of where life truly begins.  I weep.  (Click photos to enlarge)

I have no captions to give.  These photos say more then they should.  I look at these photos and the Bruce Springsteen song, "My City's in Ruins" plays over and over in my head.  If I was a creature of the sea, this would be my voice to the land world...my city's in ruins.

We have failed.  We are all to blame.  The oil industry in their quest for a source and a profit that did not plan for such a catastrophe.  The environmentalists, under their masks of righteous indignation and blind eyes to a modern worlds energy's requirements who forced the oil industry to seek the commodity in areas so far and deep that this was bound to happen.  Our governments who refuse to make common sense decisions that we all can benefit from.   To all the world's people with every one's demands for oil and oil based products...could we not find a middle ground?  Hollywood with their need to praise socialist dictators and other selective political causes and yet we hear no voices from them...your silence is deafening.  To the oil nations who use this commodity as a political tool for personal wealth and dictatorship.   What have we done...what have we done? 

We are all to blame, shame on all of us.  

I have kept this blog from being political because I so love the uniqueness of my visitors.  But I am angry and I hurt when I see the damage we have all done.

I have no answers at this time.  I am numb to what I see.
