200,000 Gallons A Day

The Oil spill hits the Alabama beaches today. I hate this because they are among some of the prettiest beaches in the world. I don't think the Gulf coast will ever be the same again. These are my stomping grounds that BP Desecrated.

Bob Herbert's latest column. I had never heard of this disaster, until this article. Maybe because it doesn't impact the USA?

Whatever - the oil companies need to be held accountable.

The problem with Jonathan Abady, the New York lawyer, who is part of the legal team suing Chevron is they will get richer and the inhabitants of the rainforest may get pennies. Lawsuits of this type are conceived by greedy lawyers, feeding on the misery of people, who care only for their own interest.

Lets not forget the greedy .GOV that was hoping to cash in on BP's mile deep well, the .GOV was so ready to cash in it overlooked its own regulations leading up to this crisis. The same .GOV that is going to try and cash in by suing BP. So yes BP and its shareholders, I hope Im one of them, are greedy, so is the .GOV, and both should be held accountable.

Yeah, Ride BP into the ground and let su taxpayers pick up the tab.

Yeah, Ride BP into the ground and let su (I'm pretty sure you meant "us" and not "su" I would have fixed that for you in the quote but the butthurt would have ensued from somebody and I would have joined the Band.) taxpayers pick up the tab.

BP has been good to and for AK. As an Alaskan when BP does good I do good. I dont really care enough to check my holdings to see if I have a stake in BP, but if their stock gets much lower Im gonna try and buy in.

Morons.

This is what most politicians are calling us right now.

When I am mad my fingers get possessed and they type out stuff I do not mean?

Koko,

This is not a commentary at you it's pointed at the people in the picture!

Why do people let kids poke around in that shiat?

Why not tell the kids to leave it alone? It's bad enough that it made it to shore. Now the kids are going to play with it and track it back into the rental or the Dodge Caravan the dad is still paying for.

IN the early 80s the Cali coast had tar balls wash up on the shore.

You stepped in them and the rest of your trip was spent scraping dead dinosaur off you sole.

In the Midwest, farmers have taken to charging people to come and spend time working a farm.

It's free work for the farmers and people, who would never get the chance, get to play cowboy for a few days.

People in Louisiana did a similar thing, touring tourists thru the damaged parishes.

Now what?

If I was there and owned a boat? I'd take out an ad in the paper and ask for people to - for a modest fee - to come out and help clean up area.

No need to be greedy, take a percentage to keep the boat afloat, to pay the crew and donate the rest to charity.

People are motivated when it comes to efforts like that.
