Our Hearts are Broken ~ When a Heart Breaks it Never Breaks Even

~A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words~

Gulf Oil Photo and Pelican Gulf Oil Spill

I will not often go political, religious or ecological on my blog.  Not because I have no opinions or beliefs.  Rather, these are personal opinions and each of us have our own opinions, and a right to these opinions.

However, I am furious and broken hearted by this massive assault against our Gulf of Mexico I want to speak out.  The very fact this happened and could have been avoided makes my blood boil!  

Once again information is available which alerts us to facts showing safe guards were in place to avoid the spill.  Agencies which were in place to protect allowed drilling, and other work to be done, without permits!  

There are countries which have better  technology available and have offered help and we said no.

There are also conflicts of interest between some of the agencies and their involvement with the oil companies.

The ecological systems of the Gulf, the Gulf tributaries, animals, the fisherman, shrimper's-crabbers, and Gulf tourism are paying a price for something entirely out of their control.

I plan to contact  the governor, the senate, and the agencies involved to make my opinions known.  I will make it known I will vote for those who step up to the plate and do the right thing.

I wanted to stand up and speak out and do what I can to help.  More and more I believe we need each other and need to unite.  Unite in love, kindness, and compassion to care for each other and mother earth.

Thanks for listening!  Blessings and Happy Day!
