Well hell, its 5 O'Clock here again and will continue to be, more than likely for the rest of this week, every hour is 5.
I'll be sober again...one day...if Im ever happy again.
Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all.

Killed Transocean oil worker was fiercely concerned about BP safety standards

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 -- 5:31 pm
At least one of the eleven men that died in the initial explosion that triggered a disaster in the Gulf expressed concerns about safety practices on the oil rig.
Transocean toolpusher Jason Anderson told his wife, Shelly, that he was concerned about BP's safety practices on the rig. Anderson was so worried about an accident that he spent his last trip home getting his affairs in order.
"Everything seemed to be pressing to Jason about getting things in order. In case something happened. Teaching me how to do certain things on the motor home so that I could go and do things with the kids, make sure that I knew how to do everything," an emotional Shelly Anderson told NBC's Lisa Myers.
Her husband drew up a will and talked about his hopes for their daughter and son.
The last few times Jason called her from the rig he was was clearly worried.

"They were getting pressure from someplace higher up to do things that maybe weren't exactly the way Jason thought that they should be," she said. "It was a safety issue."
"Jason's father told us Jason was concerned that BP, which controlled the rig, kept wanting to stray from procedures to finish the well faster, which Jason considered unsafe," Myers reported.
The Transocean CEO sat in the Anderson kitchen and told Shelly how he would take care of her family. But even before the memorial service could take place, Transocean went to court to limit their overall damages.
"They haven't even let us say good-bye to at least have closure for his memory a little bit, to have time to explain to a 5-year-old that her daddy is in heaven. They're filing these lawsuits to limit us. They need to just slow down. Back up," said Anderson.

The company ought to be shut down for this reason alone. It's obvious they knew something was wrong or they wouldn't be trying to limit their damages.
Its very true.. they did know! They knew they were rushing and by rushing, they were skipping over proper procedures. The workers knew this, but none would speak out, and thus, men died.
BP knew exactly what was going on yet continued. Quite shitty of them indeed, I'd agree, they should be shut down, but the oil freaks out there are not gonna let this shut them down.... they don't care about how it affects us, they care about the money, plain and simple.
Beware the longing loving stare
The smile thats ooohhh soooo sweet
This game, you will not defeat.
Beware the beautiful face
strong hands and attractive skin
for it is only sheeps clothing
You're destined to spend time in loathing.
Beware the words that are spoken.
A game you will not win.
Walk away while you can
For this is only a man.
Seduction with foolish pride so Boastingly
Your heart you must watch so closely.
Emotionless on the inside but not on the out.
A never ending game of round-about
A lure for you in, too hard to walk out.
A game you will not win.

Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies deceive you
Lead them to their graves
