I feel nauseated when I think of that non-stop video - of the oil being pumped into the water.

I hope they are regulated and watched and fined. Thank goodness Obama got in.

I agree - RC

It was truly sickening. I just read an excerpt on the Exxon Valdez oil spill, too. As late as 2007 (the spill was in 1989), there were STILL more than 26,000 gallons of oil washed up in the sand.

Halliburton in this mess too. Remember them? - bootstraps

Halliburton equals Cheney.

Seems like the Cheney name is always on the money-making, loss-of-life end of anything it is associated with.

"And BP's partners on the project - Deep­water Horizon rig owner Transocean and cement contractor Halliburton - aren't off the hook. They also could face criminal and civil fines. The Justice Department clearly has been interested in dealing with BP first, but talks with the other companies could pick up in the coming months.:

For Cat Lovers, Feeling GuiltyJun 04, 2013
I just found out my 2nd cat in 10 years likely has a cryptococcal fungal infection.  The 1st one I did the whole treatment, surgery, biopsy, blood titers, fluconazole (150 bucks a month for a year), cost me over $2000.  She got better, but about 6 months later, it came back and I could not afford to treat her anymore.  I put all that cost on my credit cards. Well fast forward, I now have another cat with the same thing.  Saw the vet (different one) and he wants to do a biops ...

Another Baltimore Cop Not Guilty. How Do We Fix The Travesty DoneJun 23, 2016
The Ferguson cop is reportedly living in hiding.  These Baltimore cops will never get their lives, reputations or careers back.  All of this, of course, has flowed directly from the disgustingly prejudicial attitudes, knee-jerk statements, etc. coming from the White House with respect to the police, in which there has also been absolutely no condemnation of the most outrageous and egregious behaviors of BLM and others. It's no wonder that police departments are having difficulty ...

Feeling Guilty About Sick HusbandFeb 28, 2011
My husband had terrible lower back pain and went to the doctor last week and was told he most likely had sciatica. He was given a prescription for hydrocodone/APAP and told he could also use ibuprofen and to try resting and using ice for relief. It has been over a week and my husband is still in pain. I know sciatica can be terrible, but the thing iis that my husband is making no effort to try to get better, at least that's how it seems to me. When I ask him if the hydrocodone is ...

Will There Be Violence Surrounding Casey Anthony Not Guilty Verdict? Jul 09, 2011
I live no where near Florida but the local people here are outraged that this woman walks from a crime she obviously committed because of 12 jurors who didn't know what reasonable doubt was.  This is the general consensus of talk radio people who were calling in to give their feelings on the case.    Juror 3 said she did not want to speculate but went on to speculate she thought George might have had something to do with it (?!?}.  Guess speculation may h ...

HLN Is Tearing Apart Juror's Reasons For Casey Anthony Not Guilty VerdictJul 13, 2011
Nor did they have the sliightest understanding of circumstantial evidence. What is funny to me is when the jurors try to justify their decision, they end up hanging themselves with their lack of knowledge of the case and the rules of the case.  Can't wait for next juror to speak up who contradicts or justifies decision based on misundertanding of rule clearly set out by Judge Perry. Clearly these jurors were misguided to say the least and uneducated at best. Maybe that is ...
