The Gulf Oil Spill Was My Fault (and everything else wrong with this world)
And I’m very sorry.
Now that we know that Rich DiGirolamo is responsible for every ill on this planet let’s move on and fix things. Let’s start with the tourism and fishing industry that is about to be impacted in the Gulf.
I still cannot believe how much time is spent pointing fingers and passing blame in this world. It happens in the media. It happens in the government. And without a doubt it is happening at the very company that employs you; perhaps you have even been on the wrong side of that pointed finger.
I used to get my laughter reading people’s comments at the end of news articles and blogs on the web. But then I realized something; these people are as much a part of the problem as the current problem at hand; perpetuating negativity and never really offering solutions or ideas that someone might pick up. It’s easy to criticize. It’s easy to point out what’s wrong. Personally I think you should shut up unless you can offer some useful idea; even if that idea seems ridiculous. Ridiculous ideas often allow people to think about possible solutions.
- So for my tourism friends on the Gulf…….What do people do on rainy days when they can’t visit the beaches? What else do you offer in terms of attractions, amusement, culture, etc. Perhaps it is time to market those venues in full force.
- And for my Parks & Recreation friends; might be a really good time to promote those parks and pools.
Or maybe we can just put a big giant condom on the oil leak.
Again, I’m sorry about the oil.
