Whenever I read about the oil spill, I can't help but keep one eye on the clock. Hurricane season starts in about 2 weeks, and the workers seem no closer to a solution. This could quickly go from bad to worse if the weather picks up.

The whole situation pisses me off to no end. Bankruptcy for BP is the only good thing I can see come out it.

The more I here about the companies involved, and thier actions the more disgusted I get. Bastards should have jail ahead of them for manslaughter.

Hell, yeah, Beks. Bankruptcy AND jail time.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is much worse then claimed.
Many people in this State think the Exxon Valdez spill was closer to 30 million barrels not the 10 million Exxon claimed.

They may soon no longer exsist.
No. They will no longer exist for a long period of time - at least the kind that humans can eat. Monkeys, well...
Listen, if BP goes bankrupt you get nothing. That's not going to happen anyways. But some more pertinent questions arise: i.e. is BP going to pay for the lost value in all the homes on the coast / inland due to lack of tourism? Are they going to pay the hotels that are usually full, the restaurants that are usually full, and all the other spinoffs?
Do you really understand the gravity of the situation?
Do you understand that not just y'all's are going to get affected, but entire coastlines of other countries? What about them?

That thought crossed my mind as well, just a bad storm for a few days in the southern religion could make things a real tragedy.
Mix that with some high tides and all of that oil will hit the coastal regions in a very bad way.
The next cap attempt should be in another day or so.
