Even though many qualified people told them the dispersant they were using would be toxic, OUR GOVERNMENT let them spray this into the Gulf. Yes, BP is responsible but our own government allowed the dispersant to be sparyed regardless of the effects in the Exon Valdez oil spill. Have we not learned ANYTHING from this? We need to make it clear to our government that this dispersant is as toxic as the oil spill was! At least oil is a naturally occuring element of nature…the dispersant is not. Send an email to Mr. Miller and ask him how he plans to fix THAT?!

I think we should pull all of our troops out of the Middle East and let them fight each other as much as they want , then use the military $$ to buy every licensed driver in the US an ELECTRIC CAR. Then we will not need their stupid oil.

This is another stupid thing. We will not know the impact to which the BP
spill has impacted this state, our businesses, job growth, tourism, waters,
or fish and marine life for years and years. They should pay and pay and
pay for this one. It is no different than the Exxon Valdez spill and the
fish population there has never returned to normal. There are some fish that
never returned and most likely now they feel never will. How much money
is that kind of impact worth

BP sprayed a chemical into our ocean that was many times more toxic
than the oil itself. How long before some of Ocean just dies? How long
before the NEW CANCER shows up and who will have it, the FISH, US.
OR BOTH?

Will florida, business owners, or our waters and marine life ever be the same?
