I took the wife and kids to the beach yesterday for one last look before the beach is fucked up. I hope there is a special place in Hell for those responsible. Even though this catastrophe is the result of an “accident”, it is known corners were cut, depth restrictions violated and officials turned a blind eye. Awards

The Exxon Valdez is one of the smallest spills. I was surprised whena friend told me. Look at this chart to see where this one and the Exxon Valdez compare with others. It's scary, but back then there wasn't the publicity/media of today, as well as the understanding of what oil spills do in terms of devastation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8664684.stm

But we also know the risks of offshore drilling (any drilling for that matter) and most people don't give it a second thought when they're changing the oil in their car or filling up the tank or heating their home or whatever. Take a look at all the countries BP operates in. I just dont' understand what good a boycott would do. I'm not a huge fan of the big oil companies but many of us make our livings working for them and have been treated well. BP has actually done many good things thru the years and it's a damn shame this happened and very sad for the families who lost their loved ones. Awards

I know the local Pensacola Beach maintenance has offered to work with PB on the best approach to cleaning the beach. I mean, this is a local organization that cleans the beach every day and has equipment to utilize. BP turned them down. Also, the marine biology school at UWF offered to give assistance on monitoring the water quality and sea life at the beach. They also got turned down. UWF is monitoring anyways. It really seems to me BP is trying its best to keep as much information as possible under wraps. Also, every “sad” attempt at stopping or controlling the current leek revolves around salvaging as much of the leaking oil as possible. Awards
