Up to 200,000 gallons of oil a day has been pouring into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon blowout on April 20. So far, all efforts to staunch the flow have failed.
But never fear! Hippie power is here. And one long-haired Colorado nutcase thinks we can solve the problem with a little group meditation.
“The basic concept is to try and get as many people to visualize that the valve is actually functioning and is working and closing,” said Carl Fuermann, a staff member in the University of Colorado’s Registrar Office.
But wait. It gets weirder:
Fuermann said his desire to use meditation to activate the blowout preventer — and his belief that visualization could actually work — is rooted in his own life experiences and in a global movement called the Intention Experiment.
“I’m very known for fixing things and making things work,” Fuermann said, adding that he believes his meditation helped fix a friend’s Flip video camera. “I visualize things working and hold the belief that they actually work.”
Just a wild guess on our part, but we’re pretty confident that a guy who works for the government and thinks he can fix mechanical problems via meditation is also a guy who voted for Obama.
Sounds crazy to us, but on the off chance that Fuermann’s onto something here, let’s all close our eyes and visualize November. Nancy Pelosi out. Ohmmm. Harry Reid out. Ohmmm. Barbara Boxer out. Ohmmm.
Join in. Ohmmm.
