Supposedly crude leaks into the Gulf whether it is being drilled or not. Not sure I believe that or not.

As for companies like BP, they should have been nailed 100x as hard as they got it. They should be bankrupted and out of business right now. Instead they destroyed a lot of fish/mammals out in the Gulf and quite a few beaches. If you accidentally stepped on a tarball on the beach you knew it as it would break you out big time. Then the dispersant is probably just as dangerous as well.

But as we have learned the hard way here in Alabama with the PCB dumps into the local rivers by Monsanto, the fish can still be eaten but you would need to eat pounds at a time for it to really harm you.

I was flipping through the channels last night and the AHC was repeating their 1000th rendition of "WWII in Color". So I flipped it again and landed on Aljazeera. I don't always agree with them but they spent their ENTIRE news day commemorating the anniversary of the oil spill. And that's pretty cool in my book. The first guy I saw interviewed was a local fisherman who never smoked a cig in his life because he was afraid of fucking up his lungs. Now, he can hardly breathe sometimes. But he's the lucky one. Because all the people in his circle have bodies covered in lesions.

This isn't right. A PR team and a host of lawyers shouldn't be able to lie their way out of a massive fuckup.
