Oil Leak

How is it that we live in the most technologically advanced era in the history of the world, yet no one can figure out how to stop an oil leak?

For almost 2 months now, the top story of all news broadcasts is the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. If we have the technology to drill into the ocean floor to extract oil, why can't we fix a leaky pipe? Especially after almost 2 months of trying. It's absolutely ridiculous.

It's almost becoming comical. It's no wonder the British lost the Revolutionary war. (I don't know if BP is still British Petroleum, but it helps emphasize my point :-)).

Fix the stinking leak already! I'm tired of hearing about it on the news.

That's my two cents.
