Shit.

We're going to need a butt load of little tiny condoms.

Then again, maybe this is just the opportunity we've been waiting for.

Suppose all the oil eating bacteria goes crazy. First they eat all the oil from the spill, while fucking like rabbits. Then, all the new babies start burrowing down into the oil reserves, in search of more food. The more they find, the faster they reproduce, until finally, all of the oil is gone, and Al Gore gets to be King of the Universe, until he is eventually eaten by a giant radio-active sharktopuss microbe.

Problem solved.

Theyve already halted commercial fishing on the Panhandle and all it take is a shift of the wind to blow the oil onshore on the West Coast.

I also heard that the loop current that runs through the gulf is only about 20 miles from where the oil is now. It that current reaches the oil it will take a week for the oil to reach the Florida Straights (The Keys) and another week or two after that it will be off the coast of North Carolina. The Maritimes in Canada and then the UK is next.

North Carolina?!?!?! Ok now I'm upset and agree that something must be done!!!

I think that it's tragic but we all sound like a bunch of crack heads that are angry with the drug dealers. We make the demand, all they are trying to do is fill it.

No.

Not pretty much.

We create a demand for many things, but that's no excuse for not having a back-up plan in place for preventing what might be one of the greatest environmental catastrophes in recent memory.

I was watching them build the "cone" that they're planning to drop on the well head, and I couldn't help but think that the time to build that cone, was right about the same time they came up with the idea of drilling 5000 feet under water.
