Article #4

The article I read satirizes the oil spill that took place in the Gulf of Mexico. It talks about how the government keeps running on bs and feeding bs or lies to the public about how are environment is doing. There needs to be more control taken over on these situations. Problems keep arising such as Hurricane Katrina and the oil spill. The oil spill could have been avoided if the right actions had taken place and if the government had been doing their job.

I chose this article because I agree with the fact that the government needs to do more to prevent these problems from taking place. I think it is well written because they were able to drive their point across. I believe the government has enough power to prevent the situations that have occurred, for instance they couldn't prevent Hurricane Katrina, but since the government was aware that it would take place they could have evacuated the people and put them in shelters away from where it took place. The government could take more precautions with these problems and help a lot more with the different situations.
