    I heard on the news yesterday that the head of BP described the effect of the oil spillage on the Louisiana environment as "minimal". From other stories I've heard and seen on the news, it sounds like it has already gotten worse than "minimal". And not only for the environment, but also for tourism and fishing as a commercial industry.

    BP lies. They have lied from the beginning of this spill. They under reported the amount of the oil gushing out of the well, when they knew better.

    It seems like they are more concerned with recovering oil for resale, then
    stopping the oil from gushing into the gulf waters.

    What about those people whose living is/was made from the Gulf - what is going to happen to them?

    Just saw a report on the news.


    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is doing a study on the EFFECT OF PLACING A BOOM IN THE WATER TO CATCH THE OIL.


    They are trying to figure out the enviromental impact of it, the boom, not the oil.

    Well, I think that the individual Army Engineers involved in that should first have their credentials checked. In light of the situation, I think we owe it to the marine life to ensure that at least these personel are qualified to carry out such a study.
