Some of the images are unbelievably disheartening.
But I must confess, I drive a gasoline-consuming vehicle every single day, just like 100 million other Americans.

The real reason is because oil is still cheaper than anything we have come up with. Until the demand exceeds with supply (which it hasn't) then we're going to continue to use it because it's cheaper than a lot of the alternatives. Do you really want to pay $6.00 a gallon for a substitute?

If they'd get off their asses and invent hoverboards, I'd gladly ride one to work every day.

BP has begun to buy internet advertising for keywords that have to do with the oil spill.
Yahoo, Google, Bing...
http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/07/news/companies/BP_search_terms/
Do a search for "Oil Spill" and you will find the top sponsored link:
Helping? Oh yeah... they are fixing that oil spill that Obama caused. That's how it happened right? The president's oil rig blew up and now BP is fixing it with their money, not tax dollars.

Sure. Depending on who you ask, the oil spill was caused by the money-hungry Majestic 12. Or Skull and Bones. Or the Vril society. Or corrupt bank owners (which is all of them). Or oil companies hating the planet. Or liberals. Or conservatives. Or gay people. Or the NRA.
Seriously. People will blame everything on anyone they don't like.

I remember MacGuyver stopping an acid leak with a bar of chocolate. Someone call that guy and get him on the job.

 Let's assume it's a mixture of the two!
