Look in the mirror

Lately all that I hear about is how pissed off everyone is about this 'BP oil spill'.  Yes BP did not follow proper procedures in maintaining its under water pipelines and rigs.  But, honestly society, look in the damn mirror for once.  Everyone, EVERYONE depends on oil.  So we are the root of this problem.  AND are causing even more of an issue by 'boycotting BP stations'.  Now I get that you are mad, and this is unbelievable; completely horrid (in my eyes), but boycotting the gas stations will make things worse.  Did you know that 72% of BP gas stations are individually owned and boycotting those only take dinner off some hard working woman or mans table!  Also if BP's profits plummet and they can not afford this clean us, guess who's tax dollars get to take care of it...................that is right yours.  So before placing blame on one company look in the mirror.  Now don't just blame yourself either. Look in the mirror and decide what you are going to do to better this situation, AND I do believe that if each and everyone of us does this, the clean up will be easier, the debt will be paid, the environment will recover, and maybe (just maybe) some people with realize there is more to life that just blaming the government or others for everything that happens in this world.  It all begins with one look in the mirror.
