Oil Is Not Black Gold

Egad, the oil spill is such a dissaster, I can hardly think of anything else. I have to admit the mess it's making in the gulf is in a way beautiful in a twisted way. The way the oil is swirling in the water. It reminds me of the time I was sitting next to a surgeon on a flight and he started showing me brain scans of cancer patients...they were amazingly beautiful.

But it's sickening. BP is promising to pay, but no amount of money is ever going to fix this. I was lucky enough to visit the Florida panhandle over the New Year holiday in January...you've never seen such a pristine beach with white sand dollars washing ashore. That will all be gone...I'm not even sure my grandchildren will get to see what I saw only a few short months ago.

Greed is very bad manners. It make people do horrible things for money. You can't take money with you. All you have in the end is your integrity. Integrity is a word that is missing from most people's vocabulary. It's easy to put back, just do the right thing...even if it's painful. You will not regret it.

I promise and for those of you that know me...I never break a promise.
