Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Provokes Panic and State of EmergencyRoger Butow Salem-News.com's 'Odd Man Out'

“I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.” - Kurt Vonnegut(LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.) - OK, all of you "Drill, baby, drill" imbeciles, where are you hiding right now, crawled back into whatever slimy, bitumen-encrusted asphalt sink hole you emerged from? Still think drilling oil offshore is, like that traitorous Marine Colonel Ollie North said, a really neat idea?
C'mon out, or are you at a Tea Party hiding behind a bogus patriotic sign, along with your other Mad Hatter (Michael Steele) and Red Queen (Sara Palin) friends, you know the ones that call for punishment first, then the trial?
I ask because certainly the non-human species that live in or rely upon the Gulf of Mexico need those waters to be relatively pollutant free, and they have nowhere to go.
They've already felt the brunt, the steady drip feed of civilization via the toxic soup runoff of urbanization, I mean what's a few more contaminants among chums?
They're getting that punishment, and there was no trial anyway, they've committed no crime other than exist wonderfully as God created them, as part of naturally complex, interlocking continuums commonly known as marine and estuarial ecosystems.
