re: #115 tradewind

Yeah, BP spill just like 9-11. Only without the three thousand casualties, the paralyzing of the nation’s transportation system, and the start of a ten year war./

Dude, did you just miss the point of his line?

9/11 made us rethink national security, yes?

And maybe this BP disaster will make us rethink how we feel about oil/gas/drilling for oil.

That said let me also say something…. while the BP oil spill may not have the mass casualties of 9/11 (which I wish could have been prevented and consider a horrible disaster) I can’t help but wonder how many American LIVELYHOODS will be eliminated by the BP spill what with the destruction of a lot of chances to fish in the gulf….
