I said I wasn’t in a mood to argue.

You post some supporting details that the gulf will be fine, that the marshes and spawning grounds won’t be destroyed, and that those lakes of oil under the surface, and therefore not visible to the eye won’t completely ruin the coastlines.

And, post some comforting information about how the dispersants used are totally harmless to sea life and humans. Maybe those going out on some of the vessels are silly to be wearing protective gear. Send your nonsense to them, and tell them to take valium.

They are wearing protective gear because of the lighter hydrocabons being emitted by the oil. The dispersants are nothing more than detergent, one end of the molecule oil soluble, one end water soluble. The same way good old lye soap works. I doubt fish will like it, but it breaks the slick down into conjoined molecules that bacteria will ingest. Way too much hype going on, relax FRiend. I love to fish and scuba dive and eat fish. The fish will repopulate as the Gulf cleans itself. Of course all of the missing burn booms would have helped but this administratin will never be held accountable.
