1. I didn't even know about it.... I'm angry because they poisoned and murdered us,

and our government did not and is not protecting us.

2. TRUTH! n/t

3. But baby, I thought you said we were the only one. That's why we let you stick it in so deep

Now we find out there's another place that you want to lay pipe. Come back baby, we'll let you put it anywhere you want if you just come back.


When are they going to realize that if they'll use and abuse us they'll just as soon leave us when a better offer comes around.

4. More reason why the United States must make haste to a renewable

energy based economy. With solar and wind energy, we can make fuel for the military from crops and crop waste.

7. The Russians will probably let BP drill in the Arctic seas

without a lot of environmental hassles.

that border that area who will be effected if BP is as careless there as they were here.
