TRANSLATION

All the sons of Dhåtaräñöra along with their allied kings, and Bhéñma, Droëa and Karëa, and all our soldiers are rushing into Your mouths, their heads smashed by Your fearful teeth. I see that some are being crushed between Your teeth as well.

PURPORT

In a previous verse the Lord promised to show Arjuna things he would by very interested in seeing. Now Arjuna sees that the leaders of the opposite party (Bhéñma, Droëa, Karëa and all the sons of Dhåtaräñöra) and their soldiers and Arjuna's own soldiers are all being annihilated. This is an indication that Arjuna will emerge victorious in battle, despite heavy losses on both sides. It is also mentioned here that Bhéñma, who is supposed to be unconquerable, will also be smashed. So also Karëa. Not only will the great warriors of the other party like Bhéñma be smashed, but some of the great warriors of Arjuna's side also.

Obama Responsible: Poison in the Well…

obama-oil

Currently there is discourse over the accountability of President Barack Obama in the Gulf Oil Spill. Some observers have postulated this event as Obama’s Katrina in reference to the slow response of then President Bush in the same area.

I was in Ehrenberg AZ – Blythe  California along the Colorado River on April 20, 2010.

THIS RIVER HAS BEEN CHEMICALLY DESPOILED SINCE AT LEAST NOVEMBER OF 2009.

Several bodies of water as the Owens River and Lake Mono must be despoiled around me as move the Mt.Shasta area for the summer.

The Gulf Oil Spill has to be taken into the context of real concrete circumstances.

The right to drill was awarded by the federal government. Therefore the government ultimately is liable for direct and the negative externality in regulation of the drilling and safety practices of BP.

It is too hasty to determine the  exact ratio of liability.

Ignorance is not a credible defense for Obama or BP. The politically duplicity of many opinions is not equal protection.

Those competent authorities whether public or private need to be held accountable for performance or ommisive behavior.

The behavior of the president in real world scenarios is impacting both corporate and faith based leadership in the United States and the international environment. A state of entropy has occurred where the leaders of this systems are incapable or organizing resources to maintain homeostasis or equilibrium.

QUESTION PRESIDENT OBAMA AS TO HIS LIABILITY IN THIS SPILL.
