I know, I know, the poor wildlife and the fish, oh the fish. I baked some fish yesterday it was farm raised in China, I don't even know where the fish and shrimp and stuff from the gulf goes.
In the end of it all Mother Nature is a hard nosed bitch, she will reclaim what is hers one way or the other. You know, everything that was on this planet (with the exception of that electric car we left on the moon in 1970) when it was created is still here, it just changes form sometimes. That oil will go back to earth and reform. Mother Nature will see to that. The problem is that WE are in a big damn hurry, earth will still be here and all the stuff here will still be here long after we are gone, this oil spilling out is just a little glitch, hell, that volcano in Iceland is probably doing more damage than this oil, but nobody will pay you off for bitching about the volcano.
Those wood ducks and sea otters seem to soak up lots of oil, we should send a few truck loads of them in to mop up.
I know, I know, I'm an asshole.....I'm just in one of those moods.
I don't think you're an asshole but that post does seem naive. We have a finite amount of space here...expecting "mother nature" to clean up after all of our messes seems simplistic at best (did your mommy clean up after all your messes....?)?
To think we can just treat the planet as a giant garbage bag and "mother nature" will take care of it...err, no.
