Mini spill

The Exxon Valdez oil spill was around 10 Million gallons.

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill will be around 25 MILLION gallons.

THE OIL SPILLS FROM THE GULF WAR OF 1991 WAS 240 MILLION GALLONS.

240 MILLION! That means the Persian Gulf, The Gulf of Oman, The Arabian Sea and The Indian Ocean were all affected....and probably still are being affected.

We don't seem to hear very much about the ecological damage to that area and that could be because it's not OUR area.

But it is our area if it happens on the planet.

240 Million vs 24 million. I'm sure that doesn't make the people along the gulf coast feel any better but maybe there's cleanup solutions that we haven't considered.

A BLOWOUT, while drilling for oil, is not uncommon so one would think the companies involved would have plans in place just in case....

PLANS IN PLACE JUST IN CASE is the magic missing phrase in corporate America's business plan.

I thought they had oil eating microbes but that might have been in a Michael Crichton novel.

It's also odd that we haven't heard anything about Kevin Costner's machines since it was first reported......are they working?

240 MILLION!.....THAT NUMBER MAKES THE GULF OF MEXICO SPILL A MINI SPILL....even though in a few weeks it won't seem mini along the coast.

SOMEHOW THIS IS BEING BLAMED ON PRESIDENT OBAMA....and some people are even saying that he signed off on the rigs being drilled by BP. I would have thought it took longer than a few years to get everything in place.....but then again I know very little about oil drilling and nuclear testing and pesticide creating, but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live.......I hope you don't mind........

Maybe we should start reducing everything to a song.

And what song would you pick if St. Peter met you at the gates and told you that the song you pick gets you to the place you are going?

Somethings are just intrinsically more important than oil spills.
