GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) -- Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish congregate by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes, never to be seen again.

Oh my friend you know not of what you speak.(write). Oil is very different from place to place. The specific gravity is very different.

I guess I am not as smart as you. Your link as to why this Gulf oil can not be skimmed is where? Certainly, since you know so very much about the topic and I know so little, you could give me that link? I don’t care about the refining process. I said that the oil could have been skimmed ansd still can and I got gobbledygook from you. Why did the Dutch offer to do it of it can’t be done? Or are you smahyah than them, too?

Enter “dutch skim oil” in Google. That is the proof of my argument. Where is yours?

Yup. And some FReepers make jokes about it or call it commie propaganda. They could`nt care less if all life in the gulf died.

I think BP stands for Barack’s Problem.
