Much as I lament, along with many people it seems, the oil leak off the USA coast, I must also say, “glad it happened to them”.

It follows on another report I heard, some two weeks before and now long forgotten, that the US armed forces were having trouble keeping their numbers up. Too many potential recruits were obese.

Do so few people see the connection? Everyone is caught up in the blame game – BRITISH Petroleum (there is no petrol in Britain!) – blame them! Make them clean it up! Etc. The only United Stateser (an American from the United States, as opposed to an American from Guatemala or Brazil) to say anything sensible is the Governor of California, (and he is an Austrian by descent!) who will not support any more offshore drilling.

Why the confusion? United Statesers are too fat to defend themselves. United States consumes 80 percent (last I heard) of the world’s oil. The blame (and therefore the solution) is too easy! Stupid yanks – park your cars, get off your FAT asses, and start walking. Then, you could actually defend yourselves, and the world (no longer driven by your fat demands), could stop drilling for offshore oil. In the meantime – glad it happened to you.
