Yes we have it tough in real estate right now. Home prices are down and the market is tougher. But it could be worse. Think of all the people that depend on the Gulf for a living. The shrimpers, the tourism industry is taking devastating losses.
Then think of all the innocent wildlife is dying because of the oil spill. Animals and birds that have done no wrong, now are suffering immensely. Some are dying. Too many things are being destroyed by man's stupidity and greed.
Now thousand's of British people are going to suffer. BP's stock prices have fallen dramatically. British retirees are being hurt too. So I feel bad for all involved. The economy of Britain and the southern US states are going to suffer. Corporate management is going to have to start realizing that profits at the expense of the environment, safety, and people is a recipe for disaster.
It is same way in our business we must always put the people first. It's not about dollars. Over the years I have helped people get homes. It hasn't been about the biggest commission for me. It has been about helping people. It's about families not profits. It's about making a difference in the world, making a living, and helping people.
Hopefully BP management will double their efforts to get the oil stopped before it is too late.

your local Metro Detroit Realtor helping clients like you sell and buy homes through out the entire Metro Detroit suburbs. I love showing and selling Oakland County and Livingston County Lake front homes too.
Russ; You're so right that this spill is going to heavily impact both our nations.
To me the inept handling of this and the tragedy it is causing so many innocent people and creatures that had not a thing to do anything causing it just keeps getting worse and worse along with so many other issues going on at this time.

It is heartbreaking to see what is happening to so many people's lives, the wild life, and the ocean. It is a global tragedy.

I agree * thousands of BP stockholders are going to suffer * Why hasn't Obama talked diredtly to BP CEO within the last 50 days?
This is a disaster that shouldn't have been allowed to get this out of hand.
