Throughout human history societies have humbled themselves by FAITH to BELIEFS that are not FACT. If a subject of belief is ever proven, faith is moot.

Through higher math, PROOF of a factor in ALL MATTER that holds an INTELLIGENCE of CREATIVITY might  be established...Until then, philosophers have the best means to establish an AXIOM of  a CREATOR BY LOGIC.

Having been possessed by this mystery throughout my life, and becoming totally resentful of ANY RELIGION, I have sought the answer through LOGIC and have established an AXIOM of the UNIVERSAL POWERS OF CONSTRUCTION AND DESTRUCTION as being FACT.

I don't consider this mental action as belief . I have become aware of these POWERS AS FACT.

Many others  may have that same awareness, but that doesn't matter to me...This is My awareness and is a personal truth only to me...without cause for debate. Human knowledge didn't know why air, or which elements of it, were vital to LIFE. Science has revealed,only a relatively short time ago the absolute necessity of oxygen for animals to exist and  carbon dioxide for plants to exist.

As with Air, the PROOF of the Universal Creator has not been established at this point-in-time, but that doesn't prove its non-existence, or that science cannot prove it in the future..

As the concept of religion disturbs, faith also disturbs me for the same reason. It resists FACT.

FACT was so hated during the Inquisition that it could cost a person his LIFE...Arguing the facts of an issue, to this day, may cost a person of his freedom,or yes--his life by the actions of governments.

TRUTH has been shunned by leaders of religions and governments ever sense they were first established, because it jeopardizes their secrets.

tmmadranger@gmail.comWith the damaged riser removed from the BOP, a rubber sleeve should be attached to a pipe connected to a containment surface vessel. The sleeve is normally closed- with NO water contained within it. The lower end of the sleeve is fashioned onto a cap; similar to the one being used...However, because of the "envelope" design of it, it will open only from pressure from the hydrocarbon  discharge.with little or no water to cause a freezing problem.

Dispersant material should NOT be used at all because it doesn't remove the mess; it only disperses it, to sink to the sea-floor to poison bottom-feeders.

Absorbent booms should be used and then pulled through wringers installed on gathering vessels- to then be returned to the water. Absorbent chemicals that congeal oil into surface globs would keep the mess on to the surface so that it con be gathered rather than hidden.

Of coarse, skimmers should have been working in the effected area from the first week, but enough of "hindsight".

The primary supervision and work of the shores and marshes should be performed by COASTAL RESIDENTS. They are more knowledgeable of that problem... and they definitely have a VESTED INTEREST.   

Any democracy depends on honest elections of its government body.
In order for any intelligent vote to be cast, the voter must seek  truthful data, and then use unbiased judgment in his/her vote.

Sense governments throughout history have given cause for their citizens to be skeptical, it is always prudent to mentally review possibilities of corrupt motives  within their actions.

When governments distort truth,  lock it away, or just lie and depend on group-thought for its success, it destroys Democracy.

HONESTY AND TRUTH must be sought; as desperately as water would be to quench extreme thirst. That is the ONLY WAY that any DEMOCRACY can exist.
