"You should never let a good crises go to waste" --- So it spews -- killing animals and possibly making the Gulf of Mexico a dead zone So who benefits ? With so many people and animals and the environment suffering it might be difficult to think of this disaster benefiting anyone But someone IS benefiting Who would that be ? This won't answer the question but it gives some background http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NgFjcXabXM The author suggests something about climate change legislation ***** Pearl You're probably a decent person who sees this as the disaster it is But -- and please consider this There are plenty of people who will see this as an opportunity that are not now nor have they ever been above both creating and exploiting that opportunity for any one of a number of reasons Take a step outside your decent persons perspective that sees the loss and the death and think like an evil bastard with no reguard for life who will see this as a wonderful chance to do something ---- and that will lead you down the path of who benefits Then go right back to your decent person perspective and feel the outrage you are entitled to At the very least --- Someone will exploit this disaster for their own twisted gain at the expense of others
