Gulf Oil Disaster - Day 48

Have you noticed that the initials for Gulf Oil Disaster spells out the word GOD?
Is this wrath?
Take a look at conspiracy reason A. Is this another sign or just another coincidence?

Headlines:
Crude gushes from cap; only a fraction captured... - Thad Allen, guessed early Friday that the cap was collecting 42,000 gallons a day - less than one-tenth of the amount leaking from the well. Later in the day, BP said in a tweet that since it was installed Thursday night, it had collected about 76,000 gallons. Six weeks after the April 20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers, the well has leaked somewhere between 22 million and 47 million gallons of oil, according to government estimates.

Divided into 42 gallon barrels, this equals between 523,809 and 1,119,048.
523,809 barrels / 47 days (report date 6/5) = 11,145 barrels per day
1,119,048 barrels / 47 days (report date 6/5) = 23,809 barrels per day

These new numbers are quite different from the initial estimates of 1,000 and then 5,000 barrels per day.

BP Oil Spill Day 44 - NatGasWatcher
I must admit I’ve been guilty of almost not paying enough attention to what is going on with the BP oil spill the past few weeks. Part of me thinks I was possibly wanting to ignore it simply because it felt like this was going to be such an intense catastrophe that I wanted to pretend like it wasn’t happening and hoped their numerous attempts to plug the well would eventually work. Well now that they are saying it could be until August I think everyone needs to stay updated on this. It really makes me sick to my stomach, especially when thinking about the huge loss of wildlife in the Gulf and all the families down South whose livelihood depends on the Gulf.

What also infuriates me is how everything has unfolded...
