The BP spill makes me feel powerless, ineffectual, disenfranchised and frustrated.

I can't begin to express my incredulity at the apparent disregard for just about everything that big oil companies shoow.

I would however like to draw a parallel with the credit crunch.

Big industry makes a big mess, and the overwheming majority of ordinary people like you and me are punished and expected to bear the burden of sacrifice to repair the damage.

It is so unfair.
