If you use Firefox to navigate the information superhighway, you should install the Black Oil plugin, which leaks dripping oil on your screen whenever "BP", "oil", and other associated oily words show up.
Here are a few screen shots of the plugin in action.
It was created by the Jess3 creative agency, thanks to reader Simon for passing this one my way.

Humans and human nature didnt do this. Capitalism did.
Capitalism plays on the whims of human nature. You need to learn about this history of social class. Oppression and unde-education of the masses in order to keep them complacent. In any case if the mass refuses to follow the order of the oppresser, their is nothing the opresser can do short of physical violence... which is why creating an impoverished majority works in their favor. It's human nature to ignore or to simplify world events when you're constantly focused on your own survival.
The public loves scapegoats to death, and they've hit black gold with BP. Doesn't change the fact that they've done nothing much wrong. If you transport oil, like many other companies, eventually one of the tankers will spill. It's horrible, but it won't change unless we decide to stop importing oil altogether.
In short:
Untwist your bloody knickers and try to live for five seconds without someone to hate.
take care of this planet
care means be careful not negligent and wasreful
this isn't about hatred so much as it is about mindfulness
holding people accountable and remembrance
i abandoned my automobile for an electric bike and lobby for more and better public transit

Nice way to help you feel connected to the plight of the people affected without lifting a finger or giving a red cent to do anything about the problem.
What is it with you people wanting to "stay connected"? Get on with your lives already - it's not like you're showering in oil everyday now because of the spill.
That looks pretty interesting and at the same time I think it will help not to forget the oil spill and the disaster thats happening in the Gulf right now
