What Have They Done?

The tragic farce that is the BP oil spill keeps bringing back to mind lines from Jim Morrison.

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her,
Stabbed her with knives in the side of the dawn,
Tied her with fences and
Dragged her down.


Well, Jim, we still want the world and we still want it now,
but it turns out that it didn't matter if we had the numbers.
They had the guns.
