The American's Creed by William T. Page; Clerk of the House; 1917:

"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a Republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots gave their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Gulf Oil Spill and British Petroleum

BP Engineers forgot to tell FoxNews.com about the 3 leaking sites.  Anyone following the technical reports knew about the 3 sites, but it was 'Brand new' for fox.news. And the FoxNews reporters could visit www.bp.com and would have found the answers before putting foot in face!  Although the number of accusations,  the yelling, and Obama's need to attempt another Saul Aliski's  "Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame." But the attempt to 'ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame' aren't working well because BP has more at stake when you realize the shear size of the oil and gas. No spills in the last 20 yrs. in over 2K wells.  Americans, without the need for money, continued political  power + force of this very arrogant, individual Mr. Obama, can realize that after visiting BP's website, that they are even more concerned than any of the coastal states or the President. 

No-one-Anywhere is happy about the birds, fish affected by the crude!  "Lesson 1: The Purpose of Adversity" from "A Guide for Learning and Teaching The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution, Learning From the Original Texts Using Classical Learning Methods of the Founders" by Joseph Andrews (p.34-37).  Reader, you might be asking What is the Connection?  Isn't that a stretch, Gulf Oil Spill to "Common Sense and American Character"?  BP's risk of drilling the First Production Well at 5000 feet would have return 'Qualcomm Stadium' sized rewards for everyone who is part of this company + plus Great Britain and the USA for many, many years worth of both Natural Gas and Crude Oil. There was little reason to believe the drill collar would fail. There had never been a failure of the collar; and collars have been used for more than 20 yrs in more than 2K wells at 1000 ft or greater.  "Some people are more concerned about avoiding the discomfort of a hardship or finding someone to blame rather than learning a lesson from each experience. Our form of government was not meant to be a safety net to protect us from personal adversity. It was designed to provide us with the freedom to stand on our own two feet and overcome the obstacles.  In the field of outer space, the product developments with the progress in living in a Space Center in Space is a real development; and there have been terrible accidents and wonderful work of scientists-engineers working to get the space capsule back to earth in spite of adversity.  Your original Corning Ware is the same material the bottom of the space ship is made to enter back into the Ocean. The microfiber cloths; several tools wrapped into one, the gaskets, windows, and all equipment development. The little, JPL Pasadena's satellite running on nuclear energy gave us pictures of Jupiter's rings adding to the number and the content of the rings; Jupiter's Moons pleural before leaving our galaxy to enter outer space. Also, how little the nuclear reactor is within the Voyager III.  It may still be storing information and we may even recover it some-day!  

Back to British Petroleum, however bad this spill, the British company daily lists all the actions taken for that day; gives written press releases as well as technical drawings such that I can understand.. From the first day of the spill, BP has had every expert in the Oil Field from all over the world involved,  to take one step at a time while we (BP and other oil companies) learn what we need to do to correct the spill as well as understand that cause to correct the accident!  BP is recovering crude; but is burning off the Natural Gas. BP and oil professional engineers the world over Shall find the cause and shall drill to 5000 feet again...because the risk will be much, much less than the reward to BP, GB, USA, and many other Nations!  Of course, that shall cut into the Arab Oil Cartel which has been cow-towed to by all Administrations; but never bowed to until Mr. Obama arrived with Rahm Emmanual and Mr. Stern of Union control of American Workers. 

Also, how about the reason why (from the 5W's and H) BP has to go slowly with the new cap and why there will still be leaking, but not as much:  Yes, newspeople finally realized the drill is nearly a mile deep; but apparently that is all.  "Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story..."...go back to the drawings of the well and its location in relation to the Mississippi Canyon's layers of rock, sand; and then  the layer of Natural Gas: The white in the BP live video is from the gas.  Now, put it together: Almost 1 mile down, into and through rock, sand, mud; the depth of the water; that robot submarines Must be Used = tremendous pressure from the natural gas + the Area Size of the BP Gas Site = the size of QualComm Stadium! We're talking about a drill of approximately 21.5" diameter making a pinpoint hole in relation to the gas and oil under Pressure beyond the huge number - and a more than rubber - more like the gaskets on Enterprise or rockets - to guide with the hose already in place and continuing to remove both gas and crude oil (the thick, high density demonstrated by the land fall). I sure hope that reporter either relieved suffering or helped the pelican and littler pigeon size bird! To just stand there is ridiculous!

Laura & Bill every expert in the oil field, competitor or not, is involved in fixing the spill! Just any engineer even from out top research universities, cannot help unless they know what is involved in the gas, crude, rock, mud, water, and delicacy of a robot submarine because of what may be much more than the failure of a collar that has never failed in more than 2000 wells 1500 - 2000 feet deep on the Gulf, Atlantic Seaboards. Oil off CA in in less than 1000 feet!  In other words, Leave BP alone to continue to take responsibility - Even Though The Cause Cannot Be Known Until The Collar Can Be Removed!
