This is the one that just rips my heart out.

I just posted this on my facebook.

1. Mine, too.

I borrowed your idea and put it on FB, too, with some lyrics from The Doors... And sadly, this is just the start of images like this. What have they done indeed.


What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

[dbt]

2. Then there's this line:

We want the world and we want it...now

I always saw in my mind a bunch of old white men gathered round a conference table when Morrison said this.

May Goddess have mercy on us all.

[lamp_shade]

4. Now I'm crying even harder.

[tango-tee]

19. Dear friend, I know how you feel.

Come here and let me give you a hug. :hug:

I know this won't undo even a tiny shred of this devastation, but we can grieve together.

[lamp_shade]

22. I hope (s)he was one of the victims they were able to save.

[Ishoutandscream2]

29. I'm there with you.

Just so tragic. God...

[lamp_shade]

6. May I borrow the lyrics and add them to my FB post?

[babylonsister]

7. Absolutely! I'm sure Jim would approve. nt

[lamp_shade]

8. Thanks.

[lamp_shade]

17. .. oops

[undeterred]

3. I think that pic will become the iconic representation of this disaster.

[lamp_shade]

12. I had the same thought the first time I saw it. I was deeply affected.

[tango-tee]

28. Yes, I think so, too.

And I'm with you and lamp_shade... My God, the suffering, the horrible suffering these innocent creatures have to endure thanks to mankind.

5. Oh yeah but Tony Hayward just WANTS HIS LIFE BACK!

:grr: :mad:

[blindpig]

9. And he should have it...

in Angola Prison.

Expropriate without compensation.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. I'd go along with that.

[subsuelo]

11. they are such beautiful, majestic creatures....

it is painful to look at these pictures.

[lamp_shade]

13. This brings to mind the last scenes in Platoon... Willem Dafoe running for his life

out of the jungle, riddled with bullet holes.
:cry:

[alterfurz]

30. or that other petroleum victim, the napalm-crucified Vietnamese girl...

...running screaming down the road with outstretched arms. Now that pelican will forever haunt America in the same way, an iconic image of suffering, grief, folly that speaks what words cannot.

[lunatica]

14. If images like this don't change the world nothing will

No amount of words can do what these photos do.

[Solly Mack]

15. k/r

[lamp_shade]

16. Thanks for the nudge.

[tango-tee]

18. All I have left are tears, desperation, resignation and hopelessness.

I look at that picture and want nothing more than being able to "un-see" the torment of this poor animal.

[dynasaw]

20. Beyond Unbearable

The agony and suffering of these creatures is beyond unbearable.

[laughingliberal]

21. ...

:cry:

23. God/Goddess help us all

It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race. -- Huckleberry Finn

[Control-Z]

24. This is the one that

literally made me break down:

[UpInArms]

26. omg - heaven help them all

this is so unspeakably tragic.

:cry:

[stuntcat]

27. .

:cry:

[onestepforward]

25. Mine too.
