Interesting how no one will look at the videos unless they have the alarming headers.

1. I don't look at the videos anyway. I click on the links hoping for a written description.

But since most videos don't have them, I rarely even bother unless the headline really catches my attention. And then I still rarely look at the videos.

2. and yet people seem so willing to believe the problem is solved, seafood is safe now, etc...

3. Still photos badly out of focus.

"burn" looks very symmetrical, very perfect. I'm no expert, but I'd sure want better evidence than this. And since I'm one of those who believes there is massive and ongoing and horrific damage done to the Gulf and its environment, I'd like this to be concrete evidence. But I don't think it is.

5. I completely agree and this video is clearly proof.

At their age, they often confuse the hot end from the end that you inhale from. To make matters worse, if little kids smoke on a moving boat they sometimes miss their mouth when the boat is jumping waves, as was seen in this video.

7. The Gulf of Mexico is toxic

Not just the water. People are very very sick from it. Just shows we have "state media" . It is not in the news. Similar to the aftermath of Katrina. Why do our leaders hate Louisiana? Is it to get rid of the people so they can drill all they want to? That happened in Iraq.

8. I don't think they hate Louisiana.

It's more that Louisianans are in the way. :(

9. But but

there are all these pics on TeeVee telling us it's safe and we should take our family there to vacation....
Are you telling me the TeeVee is lying?
