Silent Servants...

Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

This is a terrible graphic example


of why we shouldn't trust business when they say nothing can go wrong...

Deepwater Horizon’s Final Hours

"Investigators have dissected BP’s well design and Halliburton’s cementing work, uncovering problem after problem."

...

"What emerges is a stark and singular fact: crew members died and suffered terrible injuries because every one of the Horizon’s defenses failed on April 20. Some were deployed but did not work. Some were activated too late, after they had almost certainly been damaged by fire or explosions. Some were never deployed at all."
Lord have mercy on all those killed and injured, and on their families. I pray for justice for them in this life, not just after death...
