• La acidificación de los océanos -el exceso de dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera que hace que los océanos se vuelvan cada vez más ácidos- es un impacto lento pero acelerado con consecuencias que eclipsarán en gran medida todos los vertidos de petróleo juntos. La tendencia al calentamiento relacionada con el CO2 eclipsará todos los vertidos de petróleo juntos.

• En los últimos 50 años se han perforado más de 30.000 pozos petrolíferos en el Golfo de México. Es la primera vez que ocurre algo así [el vertido de petróleo de BP Deepwater Horizon], y tenemos que llegar al fondo del asunto, averiguar qué ha pasado y asegurarnos de que no vuelva a ocurrir. Pero creo que es muy razonable seguir perforando.

• La película [Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth] comienza con una disputa sangrienta albanesa y continúa profundizando, por ejemplo, en los sistemas penitenciarios, los recolectores de tomates mal pagados o el vertido de petróleo del golfo. Todo está entretejido de una forma sensual y oblicua que no se parece al tipo de documental de mensaje único al que estamos acostumbrados, con una "respuesta" al final. Es más bien una exploración. Algo así como lo que se hace con Birth of a Nation.

• Not Exactly True That skin hate is dead. There will never be color blindness in a culture of fear. But when you live afraid of your neighbor, the monster you should most walk in terror of thrives. It starts as a little thing, small enough to burrow into your pores, take up excruciating residence in the dark recesses of your brain. Its name is paranoia, and it spreads like an oil spill, there in the shadows, chokes your humanity. Threatens your soul.

• We've got the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble when it comes to crime in this country. The FBI says burglary and robbery cost U.S. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. Securities fraud alone costs four times that. And securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. Fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. No three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. Remember the S&L scandal? $500 billion.

• Cuando se trata de lluvia ácida, vertidos de petróleo, agotamiento de recursos pesqueros, aguas subterráneas contaminadas, propulsores de fluorocarbono, fugas de radiación o enfermedades de transmisión sexual, las fronteras nacionales son irrelevantes. Las toxinas no se detienen en las inspecciones aduaneras y los microbios no llevan pasaporte. Norteamérica se convirtió en una zona acuática y de libre comercio mucho antes de que el TLCAN flexibilizara el mercado de bienes.

• Sarah Palin is speaking out about the oil spill. She said, I'm not kidding, we should ask the Dutch for help with the spill because the Dutch have the world's best dikes. So let me get this straight. It is OK to cover lesbians in oil but you just can't let them get married.
