I just saw on the news that they're going to start doing like hair sponges to absorb the oil... I want to know where can we donate hair for that!

Roberta J. Santos-Constantino of NV (Believe Roberta aka Godhelpus of PA); your confession of a strategy that you executed to get rid of an employee was very unprofessional and unethical. If you are a leader of an industry, educated strategies should have been used to downsize the staff instead of what you confessed.

I am sadden like most to see the destruction of our earth before my very eyes. I am sadden when my 9 yr old niece's eyes gloss up at the sight and/or thought of each dying aminal that lye upon the coasts. I am sicked by my own kind. We all play a part in this...now its time we all play our part in fixing it.OR we will have nothing left...soon...very soon my niece will have nothing left- her children and childrens children may not ever see a wild orca or dancing dolphins or beautiful beaches...but only in pictures from a distance memory. There ARE things we can do...and slowly but surely we can accomplish greatness as a whole. ***Sometimes I debate if God will have to destroy the earth...because it seems that we are doing a good job of it as it is...*

The most help all of us can be, and it has to be collectively, is to not depend on oil. My car was in the shop for the last 28 days. It was a shocker today when I got it back to have to dump $50 hard earned dollars into the tank for gasoline after riding my bike everywhere for free for so long. Not only did I save money the last month, I probably added a half of year to my life through exercise riding my bike on errands. Look at each errand you make. Could you have done it walking or by bike? I know a lady who drives 3 blocks twice a day to drop and pick up her kids from school. Anything under a mile we all can definitely do without using oil. Just something to think about.

if we dont start thinking about the earth and less about money our earth is going to be destroyed by only having 1/4 of clean water extinced animals and no people.So stop wasting your money rich people and try to do something about this planet instead of making it worse by cutting down trees, making factories, and making the earth die.its not Obamas fault that this world is as it is now its ours.we wast, we litter,we poulute air ,.....most of us just simply dont care.please give back to the earth and try to SAVE THE PLANET!the earth is in our hands in our care the earth is our responsibillity so stop watching tv for just an hour at least and try to care about something that really matters cause if the world all the presidents all the rasis all of Gods people dont work together say your final words because this is serious the real deal.We arnt going to get another chance at this we need tho start NOW!and SAVE THE PLANET.FORGET about our arguments and electronics we dont need.for once in our lifetime forget about everything that does not matter and work together to SAVE THE PLANET IN WHICH WE STAND

Re: Why yu rite so bad?

Is this how you write "yu" ?

You are the one who need English 001 Roberta (Signed by Godhelpus of PA @ Jun 30, 2010 19:06:39 PM). Obviously you are having multiple personalities. You need to check in with a shrink to cure your troubled life.

If one does write with bad spelling or grammar what difference does it really make when no one knows you. Anyway our way of life (mostly the USA and Japan)comes of great cost,not just in our driving but in almost everything that is not wood,metal or glass)I don't have an answer,the ones that think they do are just thinking about our transportation and that's an easy fix.
