I suppose I took the opening line to impugn what I was saying as a BP lackey and maybe was a little too defensive. This is the same canard the left uses with anyone that is skeptical of global warming, or as I call it, globaloney. I think you can surmise which camp I am in along with the rest of the Holocaust deniers and Baghdad Bob from the Gulf War fame.

I think if you go back and read all my posts I have never denied the short-term impact of this disaster. Only a blind fool, and possibly Baghdad Bob would think otherwise. As for your personal opinion I can understand it but my opinion is based on spending the last 20 years in the environmental business dealing with petroleum spills and doing a lot of research on them for clients. I believe, based on my experience that the long-term impacts will be minor and there is tons of evidence to support that belief. Not zero, but not significant. And others may disagree with my definition of long-term and short-term. I am willing to bet though that by next summer people will once again be flocking the Gulf of Mexico beaches unless the government media decides they need to keep the negative coverage up to help the Messiah.

As for your water being fine I am also glad to hear that. As you know, your spouse and I are frequent sparring partners on the Forum and one adversary in your house is enough for me. Maybe my water is the problem?!?!?......Naahh.... I really do hope BP can right their ship and have the financial resources to pay for the damage that has been caused. It does no good to demonize them in a way that will force them into financial ruin as much as an eye for an eye would feel satisfying. That would fall into the category of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Also, BP has more US citizen employees than British. That's just more lost jobs. And as you can imagine from my post above, I have no love for BP.
