What a colossal tragedy to your menu C2. I can imagine the starving hordes of Africa and Asia feeling terrible about this global catastrophe worse than WWI and WWII combined. Perhaps they'll send aid. <I'll also have to struggle or pay dearly for the Oysters Rockefeller I covet. No more broiled speckled trout with a dollop of crabmeat at Galatoire's for me. Or redfish brought to me by my fishing friends who caught more than they need. Or cold jumbo shrimp Remoulade in Arnaud's exquisite signature sauce. Or pompano en papillote at Antoine's.> Omigod, not even pompano en papillote! I'm glad scallops mornay is still on the menu. I don't know about Cloudy Bay, which would be excessive. But there are plenty of swamps and mangroves which could do with a good oiling. <But since the impact is minimal and the hysteria relentless, would you consider a trade whereby all of the oil recovered from this spill is dumped on Cloudy Bay? Or is there some place more scenic or economically important in Oz you'd prefer to slime? > Not that it would last long enough to be effective in the long run or even medium run. Heck, I doubt that mangroves would even be badly affected. Wow, it's an upgrade from calamity and catastrophe to cataclysm. Is there an advance on cataclysm or are we now at total doom? Catalysmic catastrophe sounds like it could do. I guess you realize that some of the more enthusiastic Greens would consider sinking such platforms as a good thing and that this merely saves them the effort and gaol sentences. Not that they'd want the oil spill and deaths involved, but the shutdown of the well must have some of them cheering - saving the world from the CO2 which would have been produced. No doubt they'll be wanting to stop all drilling in any sea water. Some of the more extreme Greens would see the deaths as mere collateral damage because the people killed were involved in destroying the planet. Hansen thought coal trains should be considered like Auschwitz death trains and presumably considers the drivers guilty as charged. They are wanting to gaol Denialists [and no doubt worse if their private conversations were exposed]. Mqurice
