Thanks Legion. I’m going to check out the whole film soon now.

After just listening to a radio report about BP’s negligence during my lunchtime walk, I’m also wondering if blaming or hating BP for everything is a little bit of a cop-out. It sounds like the industry as a whole cut corners, and that we Americans, well, that’s okay with us as long as the oil’n’stuff keep coming.
Listening to people mock or get angry at BP seems so misguided to me. If they were cutting corners worse than other companies, fine. But it sounds like it was just another case of a society being fine with how things were getting done as long as the members of that society didn’t have to get their hands dirty.
I posted about the Village Voice article in the OT right after part 2 was published.
Pix from the Torino Italy nude cycling fest. Plenty of humor, not to mention eye candy for everyone.

Brownstoner,
Is there any reason you wouldn’t put your readers on to an event like this:
http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2010/06/15/2010-06-15_boros_soul_is_big_draw_for_tourists.html
And how about your over sight of DanceAfrica which has been going on in the neighborhood for many years?
Also, did I miss the coverage on The NYPD Tapes: Inside Bed-Stuy’s 81st Precinct that was in the Village Voice?

Sorry to burst your bubble M4L but that area of Windsor is much better than “fringe” Clinton Hill :o). [Semi-channeling 11217]
