So what did our government, our president and the entire Washington Establishment learn from these several disasters? Have we seen any evidence of plans for reorganizing agencies, firing incompetent directors (only one so far has "resigned"), or any other actions taken to closely monitor mining and oil drilling operations to prevent additional disasters? I certainly haven't, have you?
So, what to do? Can this self-perpetuating, self-serving monolith we call government be overhauled to function more effectively in the critical job of restoring stability to our disaster-stricken nation? Well, we once put a man on the moon when that goal was thought to be pure fantasy. While the odds are against it, let's not conclude that it's impossible; just don't hold your breath.
And maybe, just maybe, someday we will elect an American president that will be capable of at least beginning the process.
