i have been following this disaster since day one,and all i see is finger pointing and the good ole blame game. my conclusion is we are all to blame because of our gluteny for oil. oh you can blame our government and the tree huggers for making companies drill in almost impossible locations rather than areas that are easier. you can blame tony blair in which by the way is just a ceo, he has a board of directors and executives that also make decisions. you can blame human error that fateful day horizon blew up. but the thing that i try to focus on is that although this is a major disaster,in all the years of drilling in the gulf its a first and it was bound to happen sooner or later. so instead of blaming everyone else look in the mirror. as always we will overcome this and put this behind us and try to learn from it.

We are locals in Panama City Beach. We also work on the beach. Let me say as a neighboring beach it rips our hearts out everyday. No one feels it as much as the locals do since this our home. Im not saying the tourists arent feeling it either but its completely different for us who live and work here. To see Pensacola beach destroyed by the oil and our beach about to be next, its just painful. We are all trying to get what we can out of this summer before all the white vanishes. Remember everyone, take all the pictures you can if you have beaches still untainted in the area. It will be a hard and long road out of hell for all of us living in these areas but im trying to be confident that one day our beaches will be white again and that all of us locals and tourists alike can see it. As well as the sealife and wildlife.From LA all along the gulf coast. Even if its not in out lifetime we have to try to keep some shard of hope that we might get through this. Isnt it funny how a company called British Petroleum are the one to destroy the Gulf. A foreign countries company with the help of our own. Wow

The oil disaster is sad for all the people who live and work on the coastal area’s. I would never bash the good people of Louisiana. I was born in Alabama, raised in northwest Florida, but the most fun vacations I’ve taken over the years was to Cajun Country in Louisiana. Great people, fun entertainment, and great food, beautiful plantation homes open for tours. My kid’s were teenager’s when I took them there on vacation in the early 90’s, and they thought it would be boring. They both told me later it was the most fun they had ever had on any trip we had been on. I’m planning another trip over there this fall, probably a motorcycle ride.

I have a friend who was hired by BP to take his boat into the gulf and supposedly help with the clean up. He said that all he has to do is ride around all day and mark with GPS anywhere he sees oil. He says that the hired boats are serving no purpose. They are just there so BP can appear to be working on the problem.

To my understanding the judgements that occur in Revelation 8-9, doesn’t occur until after the rapture of the church and during the 7 years of tribulation( Hell on earth). And I’m currently sitting at my computer, not in heaven so I doubt that this is the judgment.But I’m not a bible scholar. I can’t compete with all of these oil disaster scholars posting on this website.’ For God sake’, have a great day.The church isn’t mentioned after Rev 3 Until late Revelation when we come back with Jesus after the 7 years of tribulation. That is where I get my opinion.God bless all of you including those who don’t believe.

I remember when I was 9 years old and took a road trip with my Aunt and we went to California. It was not very long after all the oil spils there, that we went to the beach and it was horrific. Beach Sand is supposed to be ivory white, not charcoal black. What they have done to our beaches is completely unacceptable. I hope everyone who if filing claims gets what is owed to them and that B.P. goes completely out of business.

No Darryl, the only principle I applied was one of definition. Wars are fought over definition. Its easy to think in extremes without it or even worse make up our own definitions…

whitepunknotondope; I think that article overstates the situation. Isn’t methane gas another way of saying Natural Gas? I’m asking a friend you who is has far more knowledge in the sciences.

Bully, you’re putting population control into a category it doesn’t belong. Family planning, birth control measures, etc. are things we need to be doing. You’re tying an abuse by a government of a principal to the overall principal.
