Death and Politics at the end of our world

Look at what mankind has wrought...

Amidst the mighty works of flight to the moon and explorations to the deep...

are the remains of the carcasses that were left behind while you gloried in you excesses.

Now death has come and with all your technology and marvels, you are unable to solve your own complications, unable to fathom the depths to which you will sink.

And there is always a helpless creature who will suffer the greatest- always the vulnerable who are mauled. 

By showing these images this afternoon on her television program on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow got it right. She's doing the reporting that needs to be done on the Oil disaster along the Gulf Coast. She's out there showing what the mainstream press is not going to show middle America and she needs to be applauded.
