>> Really, try to educate yourself on these issues. Fish in the sea is your area of interest, not mine. But it is apparent that long-term, the Gulf Spill was not nearly the event the environmentalist crazies said it would be. It is not nothing, but it is not the end of the fucking world and it is not the big disaster it was made out to be. The reason many of us recognized it was the proportionality of it. The amount of oil that was leaked was small compared to the body of water. When the River itself dumps that much water into the Gulf every minute of every day, it just doesn't make sense that the problem is going to be that huge.

Spending on the military, 1988-2012 The end of the Cold War resulted in a temporary slackening of military spending for NATO nations and Russia. Since the turn of the 21st century, the United States has begun to pump more money into defense — driven in part by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — dwarfing Russia’s steady buildup.

Really, try to educate yourself on these issues. Yeah, that's ain't happening. One of the more disturbing aspects of this search for MH370 and is how much of the oceans have turned into humanity's toilets. How many debris 'fields' have they found that weren't attributable to the missing plane? How many oil slicks that had nothing to do with the crash? And then you have idiots like a recent kayaker off the coast of FL who hooked a hammerhead shark and then let the shark tow him miles off course with the hook in its mouth........just for the fun of it.........videoing all the way. No concern for how he might be stressing and hurting the animal. Not surprisingly, the asshat is shocked that he is getting subjected to criticism. SMH.
