1. Why are they still spraying when the oil is all gone??

[BeFree]

2. Probably?

The oil that is under the surface -- as much as 100 million gallons -- is slowly coming to the surface, a hundred gallons at a time?

See, the oil is not gone, it just hasn't surfaced yet.

3. I would say most of the oil will never come off the Gulf bottom

Beaches are still full of oil under the sand, oil coving the bottom,
health problems for generations,
and there is little or no media coverage.

It is an Ecocide and everyone in power is quiet.

4. Oil floats

As the dispersant dissolves and the oil reconstitutes, it will float.

It is ecocide.

5. Ecocide. Those on the Gulf are being poisoned, and the media is complicit with BP and the Gov't.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

6. I hope someone can find out what happens to these men.

This is murder,plain and simple.

7. All we can all do is keep screaming

I am a veteran at screaming when no one will listen. Bush 2000 and Iraq taught me how.

[Enthusiast]

8. It isn't that no one will

listen. It's just the media won't address the screaming when it comes from our side. They ignore us while pandering to the Tea Party. Certainly there are as many on our side.

9. Maybe if a lefty threatens violence against Palin, Beck or Limbaugh

then they will listen to us.

Believe me. I have my evil fantasies of going on a right wing killing spree if I am ever diagnosed with an incurable illness and only have a few weeks to live. LOL. Rest assured y'all, I'm healty as a horse.

10. And when we do stuff to get attention like the Code Pink women did

dumping oil on themselves at the BP hearings, our side was the first to criticize them. Personally, I wish they'd thrown oil balloons at the BP execs, but I know they'd have gotten arrested or shot if they had, so I am glad they didn't, but hell, I am at a loss how else to get them to pay attention! Lock oily dead fish into bank deposit boxes? Dump collected tarballs in the lobby at BP's corporate headquarters? Pelt BP execs with them when they dare show their faces in public? Mail them by the boxload to politicians or mainstream media sources? Mail samples of polluted water to EPA and NOAA? Dump oil bloated seafood by the truckload outside the White House?

It takes real energy and coordinated effort to do these things in large enough quantity to get attention!
