Not to be a broken record, but the biggest culprit (yet again) is the Bush Administration that blatantly relaxed regulation on oil companies while in power. Anyone who voted for Bush in either election totally deserves this gunk on their whitest white beaches.
NE I have noticed in other postings that you are very political......
I am not. Not in this instance for sure.......
I have to say " whom" ever is in charge of our country. The "Man" in charge of our great nation ......needs to be in the mist of this tragedy.
I'm sure there are many involved in this all sides. Lots of guilty parties...

My sadness comes with what will become of our beaches, our wildlife and our fishing industry.

No one in America deserves gunk on their whitest, white beaches.

Well, maybe this is a sign you ought to get more political.

People expecting "the government" to take care of complicated situations like this is why we have this mess. This is a constitutional democracy- "The Man" is all of us.

This is not a thread about welfare- try going here to start getting educated:

Debunking the Welfare Myths

Good luck.

Good luck.

It's a thread about the environment . I just told you what impact people have on it who use this fuel, and all other resources .

Oil is only one of the problems we deal with . Industrial polutions from so many people buing so many products are even worse than this oil spill, horrible as it is .

Most of the world can no longer feed itself . The soil is in bad shape because it is over used .

We just need to educate poor nations and stop making a breddign ground out of rich ones .

I'm not for population control in general or genicides like some nuts who think most of us should die , but I'm for people being more responsible .

I think 4 kids should be the limit and even less for the poor . None in single families .

These are our birds and it is so sad.

Oiled Pelicans Rescued Friday | NOLA.com

These are our fish.

Loads of dead fish wash ashore in St. Bernard Parish marshes | NOLA.com

These are our wetlands.

Thick oil found standing in marshes near mouth of the Mississippi River | NOLA.com

This is our way of life.

Gulf of Mexico oil spill has countless livelihoods in limbo | NOLA.com

What about us: Gulf of Mexico oil spill impacts not just commercial users | NOLA.com

Not just us in Louisiana, this will do a lot of damage throughout the Gulf Coast.

A good bird rescue site is www.IBRRC.org At this site you can volunteer, adopt, donate and get updates on the wildlife rescue.
Imagine a wild bird or duck being coated in thick oil and laying in the hot, hot, sun. A horrific situation, that hardly a word can express.

I've been thinking all news media is being aweful quite about weather in the Carribean even tho they keep giving us dire predictions of tropical storms and hurricanes. I tried the NOAA weather satellite and can get images from everywhere on the globe but the carribean images indicate that satellite is "not active". That makes me nervous. Anybody know how to pull up current weather satellite images?
