I am not a tree hugger. I drive an SUV, and sometimes I take the long way home just to annoy the hippies living in Athens. (OK, that has nothing to do with me being anti-environmental. It is just a manifestation of my disdain of all things associated with Athens, Georgia. A much bigger topic for another blog post. Moving on...)I am not anti-environmentalism. In fact, I think there are a lot of things we could do that we should do in order to improve the environment. But I guess I would be considered anti-environmental because I don't think we should be doing them for the sake of the environment, but rather for the sake of those living in the environment. I am an animal lover, however I still put people before animals, which is why I am not entirely opposed to animal testing for medications. (I could be opposed to it for cosmetic testing purposes. I mean, seriously, people have massive reconstructive surgeries to make themselves feel better about the way they look. Why should we harm a rat to make sure a lipstick is OK? People tattoo makeup on their faces. By choice! Leave the rabbits and mice out of the cosmetic industry!) Having said all that, I now turn to the Gulf. I feel terrible for those who will for years to come bear the fallout of this disaster. BP seems unable to rectify things. I don't know what could be done to make things better, but about a year ago, I wrote a blog about Laurent Wolfe, a French dance music star/ environmental activist who made what is possibly the worst video in the history of music videos. But now I'm thinking, maybe he was on to something. BP, here's an idea! Maybe these girls could help clean up the Gulf, because after they performed in this video, I'm pretty sure they were never able to get work again. In this economy, they could probably use a job. So it's a win-win situation for everyone. So BP, listen up! (But everyone else, look away! Unless you're really depressed about the environmental disaster, then watch on. You could probably use a good laugh.)
