			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year young men in Feroe Iland in Denmark go through the process of becoming a real man by slaughtering Calderon dolphins. The sea is stained in bloody red and thats not because of an oil spill this time &#8211; it is only because of human cruelty. The Calderon dolphins are a very human friendly nearly extinct dolphin species. Look what we are doing &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">I just read that calculations have been wrong. <br />Scientists now estimate that not 800 000 l but 4 to 12.7 million liters come out of the BP-hole&nbsp;each day.<br />Now listen to this:&nbsp;they used chemicals on the surface to dissolve the oil<br />BUT according to the New York Times they fear that since they started doing this the oil has become heavier due to some chemical reaction. So guess what. It does not rise to the surface anymore.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">Some other scientists now discovered one 16km x 5km x 500m oil bubble in deep sea&#65279; and those oil bubbles are in 1km depth&#65279;. they say the final solution &#8211; making another hole to release pressure &#8211; will take another 2 months&#65279;&#65279;&#65279;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">As an underwater environment polluted by oil cannot contain the necessary amount of oxygen anymore pretty much everything down there will be screwed sooner or later.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">Of course noone talks about traveling oil bubbles yet &#8230; which i do not even want to think about either.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">All this leads to a single question:<br />WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING?</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">It&#8217;s enough it took so long for all the US resources to get involved but where is the rest of the planet?<br />We are talking about a major catastrophe most likely much bigger than anything before that might possibly influence generations to come. Where is the U.N.? Where are all the resources and brains that allow us to start remote wars send people to other planets and all the other incredible things?</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px;">I have no answers to those simple questions but all i know is we will have to pay a huge price for our greed and stinginess and it is simply astonishing that even facing this disaster no official of neither the US government nor BP has the guts to stand up and admit the severity of this event and initiate whatever is needed to stop it.</p>

</a>

<p>Facism is not only a political but a general human phenomenon in which a group of people develops a strongly energised hateful movement against another group that is usually seen as the cause of all evil etc. These minority groups can be of political, racial or whatever kind and the motifs can be political, religious, racial etc. So if people, organisations, governments etc behave or did behave fascistic they all have to accept that they act or acted on the same level of hate and violence. That&#8217;s why in this case one size fits all.  Blaming needs to stop. Everyone needs to accept full responsibility for his own situation.  The solution is of course to reconcile with victims and accept mistakes as such and to understand that any sort of fascism is always based on fear and the desire to have more power. If people are weak and in a bad situation they can easily be influenced by a group of leading extremists as has been the case so many times in the past.  Condemning is no solution because the one condemning most likely does not want to understand his similarity with the condemned and therefore acts based on blindness and without introspection.  The only real solution for both sides is to accept full responsibility for ones own fate and to dissolve everyhing else in love.</p>
