I have a particular bone to pick with all of them because I DO live in the area affected by the gusher, and I am far from alone. Feelings of anger and hopelessness fill the air. If you could see the meetings with the fishermen down here, you would see how angry they all are.
Imagine if something like this happened in the waters where you fish and boat and, as a result, fishing season was totally closed in your area. You would be pissed, no?
Honestly, having seen some of these meetings, I have to wonder when the pitchforks and torches will come out for real.

Valiant, the pictures I see on TV make me physically SICK...and it's only getting started...all these half-@$$ed attempts thus far are designed to only show, "we're doing something" until the so-called "relief" wells can be put in place and keep that well productive...not if, but when the oil starts flowing along the FL coast and eventually up the east coast, your pain will be felt by many more...I'm glad to see criminal charges are being investigated against individuals at BP, but I also believe there are certain individuals inside the US government who should be held accountable too...this disaster was forseeable and preventable...if you loosen the checkbooks for a bunch of engineers, they CAN develop a way to extract this oil SAFELY...this trajedy didn't have to happen...and I don't believe for one second that everything's being done to STOP that gusher or soak up all the oil that's been loosed on that beautiful, vital ecology down there...
