We are all united in our dismay and anger over the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. From this event, there must be lessons to learn. For example, the trend toward deregulation begun by Ronald Reagan and embraced triumphantly by Bush and Cheney has to be seen as being at the root of the eruption. However, I'm quite sure that some people have not learned this lesson. Many people did not learn the lesson when deregulated financial misdeeds collapsed the economy 2 years ago.
By the way, has anyone out there heard anything from Dick Cheney? He was all mouth and tongue a few months ago whenever he wanted to take a pot-shot at Obama. Where is he now? Who can blame him for trying to keep his head down?
