Richard,

Do you really think the Exxon Valdez spill is over & done with? I saw a
tv news report that was comparing the two oil spills, and even now,after
21 years, the oil is still on the beaches & in the soil of Alaska. That place
has been changed, it will never be the same,ever. They went on the
beaches & dug with one hand, a few inches below the surface, and there it was.

It's nice to be optimistic, but better to be realistic about the results of
the oil spill & what can be expected to be a long, hard road forward.
