“They have released 500-750,000 gallons of the two dispersants, Corexit EC9500A and Corexit EC9527A. So far dispersants have been used in much greater volume than ever before in US waters. The dispersant goes by the trade name “Corexit.” It’s supposed to be a pun on the words “corrects it.” Corexit is called “Hidez-It” by insiders because its purpose is not to correct but deceive. These facts have been known for decades. Corexit was banned in Great Britian over a decade ago. Corexit is 2.61 in toxicity, which means it’s highly toxic. It has an effectiveness of 54.7. more toxic and less effective than other approved mixtures, has been deployed in large amounts and at great depths in an attempt to break up the oil billowing out of the well head, and on the surface.”
Not to worry!. Some in here think it`s a wonderful chemical and will happily eat (and feed their kids) fish that are contaminated with it.

If big business is behind hit, whether it be Agro, Pharma, or Bil Oil then you can bet a ton of conservatives will back them to the hilt even though these industries are doing great damage to the country and it’s populace at times for nothing more than sheer greed. And by Greed I mean getting your giant swimming pool at the cost of poisoning, harming, and killing people, which happens all the time.
More and more I am finding the cult backing of these industries by conservatives to be not unlike the blind loyalty to Obama, those people backing Obama are stupid, because they too are going to be harmed, the same can be said for the “big industry can do no wrong” conservatives, and most on the FR fall into that industry (and by that I mean better than 51%). So flame on folks !!! Let your rage pour out ...
