Being a southerner the BP Gulf Oil Spill is a great concern for me. For those who have never seen it I can only describe it as heaven on earth. Sugar white sands with emerald green waters, friendly people and good food. Thanks to BP that has all changed. Even worse, thanks to our government the news from this area has changed. It is now a felony to get within 65 feet of anything to do with the spill. Cameras are being confiscated. Media is limited in what they are really reporting.
BP and the government are allowing corexit to be used to an extent that is not being reported. Studies of this dispersant are limited to 96 hours. We are at 80+ days of this stuff being used in the Gulf. People are getting sick. Animals are dying in untold numbers. Watch the coverage and see how many sea gulls you see in the background.
I'm trying to be rational about this situation but our government and BP are just making it worse. If this situation concerns you at all please voice your concerns. Please speak out for truly transparent coverage of the events happening in the Gulf. Demand that the government adhere to the First Amendment. Demand full information on what is being used to clean up the Gulf.

just a random update. in the last month i was able to visit the coast. the water looks fine but the dead fish were really a turn off. there are still reports of people finding oil by doing something as simple as digging through sand to make a sand castle.
