Sorry, when I wrote the 'you're trying to misrepresent' I was thinking I was replying to Shep. In addition while watching a video showing the seepage, I saw a snake swim by completely unfazed by the oil. I am incensed by the media saying over and over again the GOM has turned into a cesspool. I am not there but I hope that's not true. I am also concerned for the fishermen......does the spill mean they will lose their livelihood for the next ten years? I hope not. I think the biggest thing that would affect the fishing industry is if heavy concentrations of surface oil washed up into wetlands that are important to the oyster and shrimp fishing industries. I think thats most likely to happen along the coast of LA. Thats what has Jindal exercised and talking about sand berms. I don't know how long affected areas would take to recover. Personally I consider dispersion of the oil as the best thing that can be done next to recovery and removal. There are people using overblown language about the GOM overall. Its a big area of water and this spill isn't going to affect most of the Gulf imo. Thats no comfort to a LA shrimper who can't work though.
