Shell to develop deepest oil platform

[fleur-de-lisa]

9. Please, don't let it be in the Gulf of Mexico . . .

I read the heading of your post, Judi Lynn, and thought to myself, "Please don't let it be in the Gulf of Mexico".

Then I read the rest of your post and the full article.

Damn, yet another risky venture by BIG OIL in my backyard. I live in New Orleans. I've stopped eating local seafood because of reports of odd stuff going on with wildlife in and around the Gulf of Mexico . . . deformed shellfish, dolphins beaching themselves, turtles that can no longer reproduce. I see such disturbing articles once in a while in more serious publications, but the national media and local reporters don't cover this. Nothing to see here, move along . . .

And all the while BP is airing their cheerful tv ads on local stations extolling the wonderful job they have done cleaning up their unprecedented disaster in the Gulf.

Goddess help us . . .
