A dead Northern Gannet covered in oil lies along Grand Isle Beach in Grand Isle, Louisiana May 21, 2010. A month after the well blowout and rig explosion that unleashed the catastrophic spill, sheets of rust-colored heavy oil are starting to clog fragile marshlands on the fringes of the Mississippi Delta, damaging fishing grounds and wildlife. Scientists fear parts of the huge fragmented surface slick will be sucked to the Florida Keys and Cuba by ocean currents. REUTERS/Sean Gardner


For those who favor unfettered capitalism, choose your alliances carefully.

8. Washington DC would be a more appropriate place.
After all, the buck stops there.

6. Thank you --
but I think if I were there, I would become hysterical, panic, and lose my breath, at the very least. It feels somewhat helpless, far away in the Pacific NW. We do what we can here, in any case. Farm organically, recycle everything, irrigate lightly. There is nothing anyone can't or shouldn't do to help mitigate the effects on the planet of human life and "technology" (plastics, etc.).
