Why is it that we can't all just all work together, I mean its not like arguing over who has a better strategy is going to get us anywhere! We need to realize that the country needs our help and even if it isn't our fault we still need to be there for it. sesli sohbet
This is nice post which I was awaiting for such an artice and I have gained some useful information from this site. Thanks for sharing this information.
Some of the people here in Louisiana whose livelihoods have been stopped cold by this disaster have turned downright poetic when they talk about it. They talk about how the Gulf has been as a great benevolent ancestor to them. A fisher here might tell you, for instance, how fishing is not merely their way of making a living but is in fact a way of life itself.
That's all good, but, in the past, when it has come to honoring and protecting this great ancestor, this way of life, the people on the Louisiana coast have not put their money where there mouths now seem to be. In particular, they have stood in opposition to any sort of regulation on either of the two primary industries from which the majority of these people have drawn their livelihoods, oil and seafood. The people know very well, for instance, that the health of the wetlands along the Gulf are indelible to the health of the Gulf itself. Those who rely upon fishing know that the marshes are the spawning waters for their catch. Most of the families living along the coast have been here for generations. Everyone here knows some elder who can remember whole islands that have since disappeared to erosion. Yet, to this day, oil companies cut canals through the wetlands with seeming impunity, and with little opposition. There is an attitude of denial here that has given way to an outright contempt of ecologists and the environmental sciences. Unfortunately, the people often take that attitude with them to the voting booth, as well.
What is happening in the Gulf is heartbreaking. But what is equally heartbreaking is the fact that we whose lives are so dependent upon the Gulf should know more than anybody about how to protect it. In Louisiana, oil and seafood shouldn't have to be the only industries. Ecology is an industry itself, and it's one that Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida should be the leaders of. We should know more about ecology and how to preserve our waters than anyone else in the nation. That knowledge is marketable, and we should be the "go to guys" when it comes to ecology.
One thing is for certain: If we are going to survive this, we are going to have to change. There will be no such thing as "business as usual" after this. Not if we want to live.
Why is it that we can't all just all work together, I mean its not like arguing over who has a better strategy is going to get us anywhere! We need to realize that the country needs our help and even if it isn't our fault we still need to be there for it. Not just the local citizens, but far out ones too, we all can take a stand to help with this oil spill! The local communities can help pick up tar balls from beaches and clean the beaches up from all of the left over oil, while the far out communities could donate money or other products that would be a great help to the people in the loal area while they are cleaning the beaches! See, we don't need to be there physically to help, we can volunteer in other ways as well, but either way if we don't do something to help, even just a little, how can we expect for this to be over soon? So why can't we just take that small step and help?
