Really quick off topic, ever notice that 97AllMtr chimes in with some attempt at a political/philosophical post.

Back on topic, its gonna take months to get cleaned up but it will take years before any of the wildlife refuges will be ok. Over 600 animals have died and over 200 are covered in oil and struggling to survive.

The EPA and Government had no clue where to start and that is sad and disappointing. BP is supposed to be compensating all the businesses and fishermen affected by this and the government stated that it is going to make sure that they are compensated properly. I can tell you that the tourism in my area is shot because of this.
