Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

...And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?


This depressing moment is brought to you by William Butler Yeats and BP.

It's BP. Has not been British Petroleum for years. It's a multi-national corporation with the largest single percentage of shares owned by an American bank. (JP Morgan and Chase own 27.74%) As a company, it still sucks and has made some incredibly bad decisions, but calling it by its old name is, I feel, a way people are using to attribute blame to the UK for this appalling disaster. Whether that's oversensitive or not, it troubles me, and I don't feel like not speaking up this time.
