From space, a lot can be viewed that we miss down here on terra firma.
The continuing saga of the gushing deepwater oil geyser in the heart of the Gulf of Mexico captures our attention and pulls at our hearts and/or minds in various, unique ways.
Some of us seem to want justice in the form of Oil Company Executive "Heads on a Stick" (or at least a guarantee of a lifetime supply of fish and chips).
Others, of course, want government heads or The President's for the slowness of progress in clean-up as well as for the usual retroactive accountability that behemoth regulatory body (or bodies) are known for and should have foreseen.
Why do we hate the oil companies? Maybe this guy really does have the right idea.
I don't know.
Call me a Forrest Gump or whatever; somehow, not quite powerless, I just want to cry.
