America had it coming. Harsh? Nah. Hear me out, here. First of all, it should be clarified that I’m not referring to America the Country- full of morally responsible, ethically cognizant, humble-hearted patriots. I’m not talking about you, Gus, so go ahead and cancel that noose fetching request. I’m speaking of America the corporation- full of ruthless greed and ulterior motives. As in most cases, my beef is with the Government, not the people. As anyone that is reading this is brutally aware of, Government is sub-human and anti-citizen.

After decades of constructing a bloody legacy of oil-fueled terror and white collar criminal decadence by destructing whatever, and whoever, is in the war path- Mother Nature has shot her proverbial wad all over US. Our unhealthy obsession has led us to die, kill, ravage and pillage in the name of oil; now we’re covered in the shit. Our life source has been spiked by our other life source.

Enlightened minds may perceive this man made catastrophe as a wake-up call. Others might choose to hit the snooze. For the most part, the World’s energy seems to be consumed with hatred for British Petroleum. Everybody knows that justified hatred is the Cadillac of hate.

Most decent people witness something irreprehensible happen to their home planet and squirm accordingly. Ben Stein, however, is not most people. He expressed more empathy for the distressed BP C.E.O. than he did the “poor little sea birds”, as he so prickishly put it; making no mention of the eleven flightless rig workers that perished in the mother of all fuck-ups. Granted, the Man was entertaining on The Wonder Years and that game show where he gave away his own money (I believe it was called “The Jimmy Kimmel Show”), but underneath the façade of the cool nerd that is equally monotone and engaging, enlies a elitist jerk-ass. A stark Republican that slangs Clear Eyes to our Nation’s stoned youth, thus abetting them in their attempt to evade the naturally clear eye of the Pig that has their hot box on wheels pulled over. Thanks to Mr. Stein, the cop can’t tell that the kid is lit, assumes everything is Code-4, sends him on his way; next thing you know- SPLAT! There’s a pancaked five year old laying next to her mangled tricycle in a fast food drive thru. When will the Right stop drugging our teens and crushing our precious toddlers with their slow-moving murder vehicles. Not soon enough, that’s when. The spill did occur on 4/20, after all…The plot thins.

When reached for comment regarding the matter, former Vice Devil Dick Cheney confessed that he felt sorry…for the oil. Oil that will never realize its potential as genocide incentive. Obviously, Big Oil’s imprint of evil has minimal effect on voters in this Country. Why else would a former Oil company C.E.O. be elected Vice Devil? While I agree with the outrage directed toward BP, I know to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. To look at who’s sustaining these oil monsters. All of the pseudo-rage and concern Obama can fling at me will not compromise my stance. Where was the deafening outcry against Big Oil prior to the spill? Where is it now? It’s all being centered in on a single entity, rather than at the Beast as a whole. BP is merely an indication of a much more dire issue.

The Government loves war and they love oil. Luckily, the two go hand-in-hand. If they were serious about utilizing an alternative energy source, they would have done it by now. The technology to make an engine that is powered by water has existed for over half a century. If meager Brazil can achieve independence from the oil companies via the magic of corn, then so can we.

It’s not about what’s best for Americans. It’s not about what’s best for the World. It boils down to one word: Power. If oil was replaced as our “mother’s milk”, a legion of very powerful, corrupt Swine-people would stand to lose a substantial amount of existing and forthcoming wealth. So for now, we’ll seek out short term fixes in lieu of attacking the problem at its core; and with the help of Government, ours and others, the BP’s of the World will do their part in speeding along the entropy process. The sky will rain oil (here), bullets (there) and doom (everywhere).

If I’m going to continue to idle in my Hummer with the A/C on while I type this, I’d better go fill up.
