An Excuse For an Atrocity?
Welcome back honey!BP. Ocean. BP & Ocean! Who says that oil and water don’t go mix? From the looks of things online, that’s all anybody has been talking about. Obviously, it’s a major disaster and a serious problem. Home owners along the Southeastern Coast have all seen a rapid drop in value for the near future. Pelicans and Whales are all like “why am I so sticky?” 
Meanwhile all of us “small people” seem to be saying that British Petroleum needs to just admit they did wrong and start cleaning it up. Others say that BP needs to give us a good reason for why it’s taking so long to clean up.
I think what BP needs is a good excuse. They could simply come forward and say “Sorry, we were out of the office for the past 3 months and we just now listened to your voicemail about the whole oil spill thing”. Or they can take the stance I usually take when I unintentionally damage property, which is: “I don’t know. It was a like that when I found it”. Yet somehow, I doubt that anyone would be dumb enough to believe that excuse for this particular situation. Ironically I don’t think an excuse, regardless of how good it is, is even needed for this situation. Just stop talking and get fixing!
