Reply #5: this makes me so unbelievably angry

I get it they want to make money but really, how can sane people gamble with the safety of our coastlines in such a way?!!! They are willing to risk the lives, livlihoods, food supply, land, water and air of millions of people (nevermind the fish and wildlife) for a few more barrels of oil. What I really don't get is the disconnect between the people who run these companies and the environment they operate in. Do the guys making the decisions not like the lovely white sand of Destin for a holiday? Deep sea fishing and or diving? Do they never eat seafood? Where will they sail their yachts when the Seven Seas are nothing but a vast oil slick?
