What's the total cost so far of the oil spill? Not even 3000 dead. Only 1 platform lost. Some lost fishing days. Some oil lost, but not enough to fuel a middle east military excursion of any significance. Hardly worth a news item compared with $1 trillion in bail out slush fund and the latest bombing in Iraq. No worries Snowy. Block the hole. Drill another well. The floating oil will disperse with hardly any coming ashore. It'll head off up the Atlantic. Yes it's a problem, but it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Have a nice cup of tea and a lie down. You'll be fine. It's nothing to panic about. It's not even Richter 2 on the human scale of drama. Mqurice
