BP boycotts hurt local stations; gas giant offers help

I can understand everyone's frustration.  I am too not all that happy about what is happening.  It seems that BP is not fully doing their jobs properly as they should.  Their aggression is less to be desired.  This is happening to the United States of America, and we are being held hostage by the ones that started this mess in the first place.

It is true that we have the right to speak out and even boycott BP, but please let me states clearly, any form of ugliness on our part will NOT help the situation.  WE THE PEOPLE MUST and I repeat MUST act accordingly.  Two wrongs do not make a right.  While we have the right under the Constitution of the United States of America and the Declaration  of Independence to speak out and right the wrong, but we do not have the right to take the law in our own hands.  Please do not allow bitterness to control your actions.

I was told in my youth that a right thing done in a wrong way is wrong.  I wrong thing done in a wrong way is wrong.  I wrong thing done in a right way is wrong.  Only a right thing done in a right way can produce progress.  What we can do other than what this article has stated is continually write your Congressmen or Senators.  Let them know your frustrations.  Let them do their jobs regarding legal actions.
