"One small cap for BP, one enormous plug for the inhabitants and the entire ecosystem of the United States Gulf Coast and beyond." July 13, 2010

We make comparisons...we live a comparative way of life. Consciously or subconsciously we live life selecting between things and events and other encounters. Like good and bad; better and best; the lessor of two evils...I probably need not continue. I take nothing away from the event I mention now. It was July 20, 1969, a great day for mankind...perhaps one of the greatest. As an 18 year old kid hangin' out on a hot summers' night watching the television with my friends as Neil Armstrong embedded mankind's first footprint on the lunar surface and recorded these forever echoing words, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Truly a great event on the timeline of earth.

How will July 13, 2010, be remembered? Perhaps you'll join with me in great hope and prayer that it is with these words, "One small cap for BP, one enormous plug for the inhabitants and the entire ecosystem of the United States Gulf Coast and beyond."

Comparisons...Your Choice! I wish or a prayer...again, your choice.
