The End Is Near.

Editor,

If the Discoverer Enterprise drill ship can only handle 15,000 barrels a day out of the 30,000 barrels or more that are gushing out of the sea floor, doesn't common sense lead one to conclude that a flotilla of oil tankers could capture more once the Discoverer Enterprise is full?

Also, the more I read about BP's deception and ineptitude, the more I wonder why our government -- we do still have a government, don't we? -- doesn't take BP over and make it perfectly clear to BP and everybody else that BP is now working for the American people.

Listening to all the crooked talk and watching all the bumbling of BP and everybody else who is supposedly in charge of this crime against our planet makes me feel like taking a walk down Main Street carrying a sign to the effect that "The End Is Near."
