Beach Front BP Property

What would you say to a deal that I could get you a beach front piece of property on the Gulf Coast for $901.60? I’m talking about 150 feet to the beach, 100 feet by 100 feet lot of prime beach front property to put your beach house up on? I have a deal that nobody else can beat for property all along the United States Gulf of Mexico. To qualify all you have to do is spill millions of gallons of oil from a botched oil well and be the CEO of BP aka British Petroleum.

If you do the math, BP is setting up a relief fund of $20 Billion for the spill. There is 1680 miles of coastline inside the Gulf of Mexico that is part of the United States. Work the numbers down and it works out to $2254 for each square foot that touches the ocean. Work the numbers out to the size lot I described above and BINGO is the end result.

I’m disgusted and the worst part of the equation is that they haven’t stopped the spill yet. All of the Gulf Coast states are so screwed. All of the fishing industry can kiss its ass goodbye, if you haven’t seen the documentaries on the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska which was 18 years ago, it decimated the entire fishing community. The population of fish never recovered and the shores are still soaked with oil 18 years later. Same goes for tourist running for the beautiful beaches all along the Gulf. The west coast of Florida is so screwed. All those northerners can save a few bucks and just go down to the basement and sit by the oil tank with a sun lamp and get the same experience. This is an environmental disaster of epic proportions and our nation should be begging for ideas from anyone and everyone.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think they need to post this sign in the office of BP's CEO?

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill

One of the things that pisses me off to no end is the lack of corporate and government responsibility when it comes to environmental disasters like the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. You can look at the effects of what the Exxon Valdez in Alaska spill caused to the environment so many years ago and it is still effecting the people of Alaska today. The fishing community of the region is still suffering since that horrible day on March 24, 1989. That was 21 years ago! How many objects that you can touch in your home that you actually bought or still have 21 years later?

Unlike Alaska that isn’t a tourist resort by any sense of any standards that can realistically compare with Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, it will be interesting to see how the federal government deals with BP shutting down entire coastlines of resort communities because sludge is all over the shores of those resort locations. Would you be willing to pay for an airline ticket, hotel, rental car, to anywhere on the Gulf Coast if your beach towel is also going to have to double as an oil absorbent towel? How comfortable would you be eating the local seafood knowing that millions of barrels of oil are right there just off shore?

A very good friend of mine, Claudia Snell, sums it all up in this amazing video. What we do today is a gift to the children of tomorrow. When we forget that, then we all lose.
