Gulf Fishermen Debate Whether to Risk Selling Seafood Again

[Generic Other]

ACY COOPER: I went out there and we made about four or five passes with the wheel, with the boat, stirred up the mud, and before you know it, oil was coming up. So these are the kind of areas that we need to distinguish where it's at, and these are the new places we need to keep closed. We don't need to open this. Keep them out of there.

TOM BEARDEN: But other shrimpers and dock owners are desperate to get back to work, catch some shrimp, put some money in their pockets.

MAN: I want to make money. I want to support my family.

MAN: I want to, too.

MAN: So what are we going to do, sit here and starve to death? The scientists say there's nothing wrong with it.

MAN: All right. Look, I'll come with you. You take me to where the worst spot is, catch a few shrimp. I'll hit them with Dawn and boil and eat them right there in front of you.

MAN: That's you.

MAN: That's me.

MAN: But will the American people do that? Will the American people do that? No! That's why you don't do it!

Gee, I thought Obama and Browner said most of the oil was gone. I guess Mr. Cooper found where all the rest of the oil went.
