Dispersants are toxic to the environment, and don't actually eliminate the oil. Bio-remediation is a technology which has been long proven to completely eliminate the damage of oil spills, and needs to be deployed in the Gulf immediately.

1. Dispersants are not toxic, especially at the dosages being fed. The ones they are using have a health rating of 1/1 (you can check the MSDS).

2. No dispersants don't eliminate the oil, them make the oil "available" to the oleophilic bacteria that NATURALLY live in the Gulf. You don't have to "add" them. So there is no need to "suggest" bioremediation, that what the dispersants, (those toxic chemicals! /s) are already doing ... NATURALLY!

May I suggest you take about 20 minutes and learn more about dispersants, I've laid it all out for folks who "would like to know." For a quick (20 minute) lesson on this go to

You are dancing to the "left-handed Piper's" tune when you start making these kinds of statements that are (1) Not true and (2) misleading. Every aspect of this whole spill catastrophe has two sides, emotion and logic, action and reaction, Facts and Tales. Knowing the difference is what will get us through this.

Good data. Thanks for that.

I favor an "all of the above" approach to attacking this catastrophe. I'll support any and all technologies that are workable and effective against this thing.
