11. Oil-eating bacteria
http://www.oyez.org/oyez/resource/case/1125/

Catastrophic oil spills are nothing new. The recent Persian Gulf oil well spill, last estimated at 68 million gallons by the International Maritime Organization, may be smaller than a 1983 oil spill in the Gulf of approximately 80 million gallons that occurred during the Iran Iraq War.
<snip>
Exxon and the EPA have experimented with a shoreline cleanup technique called bioremediation -- the use of bacteria to degrade oil into harmless water, carbon dioxide, and fatty acids. Exxon's pilot project involved spraying fertilizers on 74 miles of the more than 900 miles of oiled shoreline in Alaska in the hopes of spurring growth of naturally occurring bacteria that eat oil.

Oil will NOT save you.
Oil will KILL you.
This administration will not save you.
Ask the soldiers who have returned from Iraq.
Ask the parents who allowed their children to be sent to Afghanistan.
Ask the men who served in Vietnam.

Mr. Morden,
you are saying that the US has the Neocon-given "right"
to STEAL property that does NOT belong to them
and MURDER all the people who stand in their way.

Mr. Morden,
you sir,
are supporting the propaganda put out by blood-stained monsters,
who are the personification of eloquent argument for the necessity
of maintaining free abortion clinics in every neighborhood.

Mr. Morden,
you are also saying that there will be no peace,
no justice
and no freedom on this planet
for as long as the US insists on oppressing the other nations of the world.
All the more reason for the other nations to boycott you
and your reptilian ways.
Take a look at the sea that lies in the proximity of the US Strategic Reserve.

Black Water Reports Again Surfacing

Mr. Morden,
you cannot even keep the oil that you have stolen,
and yet you insist on spilling blood to get more.
Just admit it,
Neocons enjoy killing and
THAT is what they were sent to earth to do.

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.
-- Ambassador Kosh
