Living Death Daily for Gulf Coast Victims of BP Dispersants

The sad thing is, BP already has the correct solution to eliminating oil.
They are just fucking around to gain money.
Kick their asses out, sue them, move on to do things the right way.

 

There is no escape or refuge for these coastal residents, unless they move many miles inland. Wave and wind action carries the contaminated spray droplets everywhere.

 

This is all nice to know since most of our rain here in West Ga comes from the Gulf. This is my water supply and this is what waters my gardens.

I only got half way through the article because the page width keeps changing and the text keeps moving. It's difficult to follow words that keep moving around on the page. I'm going to copy it into a text file and finish it later.

least we know now where they are storing the trichloroethylene, I mean dumping it...

 

And if it hasn't happened already, it will eventually get into the Gulf Stream, come up the east coast, and head for Europe.

 

There's no way in hell anyone with half a wit could believe that much oil and that much dispersants could just magically go away. Our government lies, the big corps lie more and the media doesn't call them on it. This is just the beginning. If you think the effects on the Gulf are bad, imagine what it's done to the sea creatures.

 

this topic has already been covered by several other threads - do we need this many bad news from the oil spill threads? Multiple threads on the same subject are against the guidelines, and I hate to have to keep coming back and reminding everyone of the same thing on diff threads for folks who post but dont actually LIVE anywhere near the spill.

There was oil there before, the same chems are used all the time there because, as previously stated, there was oil there before. Not to mention some of these people just MIGHT be trying to get a free ride on the gov? We are talkin alabama rednecks here, and nobody knows alabama rednecks like yours truly! It does happen, Im just sayin.

 

I have not been to the Gulf of Mexico, but I have been to the Persian Gulf.. During the first gulf war, rather the Kuwait invasion .. Iraqi troops and insurgents set fire to 100's of oil rigs and refineries.. While I blame some of my current health problems on the oil laden air, I can not confirm it..

what I can confirm is.. Breathing the air alone there made people, myself dizzy..

If you would like to simulate this/ Go out to your garage and close the door, dump a few gallons of gasoline and motor oil on the floor. Now Inhale. Go ahead and open the door, even though you have fresh air now. You can still smell it right? .. Its probably worse now that you have let air in.... I can almost guarantee you will be sick.. uke:

 

uh, didn't you read what I wrote? I said there has ALWAYS been oil there. Of course it isnt going away, Im annoyed because it took a CATASTROPHE for the rest of the world to realize what was happening.


I dare not suggest that you are the one who need to get used to something, for fear it would be seen as a personal attack. But I do not expect it to go away, in fact I bluntly stated the opposite. Do YOU expect it go away? I just dont. Neither would anyone who read the report about the Exxon Valdez beaches that still have oil. "- Twelve years after the spill, oil could still be found on half of the 91 randomly selected beaches surveyed." from http://na.oceana.org/



The damage WONT go away, EVER. Just because the government and BP tell you it will, don't believe it. This happens wherever oil is drilled underwater, and people only jump on the bandwagon when the media sounds the alarm after a massive mistake. Be proactive on something that would be useful, crying over this spilled milk is useless and only buys into the media hype distracting people from where the real problems are now. I have faith in the media to apply more than sufficient blame on all who are remotely responsible.... its what the media does second best!



I dont expect it to go away because I knew it was there before it became a crisis and fueled a media frenzy. That is the jist of my point, regardless of what someone else may read into it - having a new thread about the oil spill and its results means I get to keep coming back and reminding everyone there was oil there before and there will be oil there after BP and the Gov tells us its gone.


My father is buried on the gulf coast with a view of the beach from the cemetery - a view that will never be completely oil free. In fact, it wasnt an oil free beach most of the time before this. I hated gulf oil drilling before it was cool, now seeing everyone waving panic flags after the fact is just flatly annoying. But everyone is blaming the wrong place, this stems from voting in politicians who chose to allow the Oil Barons to keep dictating what abuses the environment would endure.




As for other reports on this, do you mean reports on this site, or in the media in general? Im pretty sure that the side effects were reported months ago, while they were being used. Here is an article i found in a quick search, dated May 27th, with early reported symptoms tho admittedly they are played down in this article. from NYTimes.




IMHO....
Would we need alot of threads about radiation sickness for Chernobyl residents (to me the similarities are staggering, a compare & contrast situation and not an attempt to change the subject or make an off topic comment), or just one really good thread about the meltdown and its results? Because this is going to last just as long, and we might as well have a Gulf Oil Spill forum if we are going to see a new thread every time some journeyman reporter has a slow day and needs to submit a new article on an existing item. To me, this is a Follow up article and not a new story.

Stop them from drilling in the Arctic, find a way to demand alternative fuels, but being mad at BP about what has happened, the results of the spill and applying blame after the fact on this one topic is, well, just one topic to me! A follow up is an update to a topic already presented.

just my two cents worth
