Yeah, it was kind of a "Non Event" which really bumed me out....

All sorts of wild news reports of the world coming to an end, then a final wrap of "where did all the oil go"...?

Weird....

Yeah, they claimed the "Bacteria" is eating it and making "Dead Zones" in the ocean when all the Oxygen is eaten up!!!!

Reality is that when you breath in Oxygen out you emit Carbon Dioxide, when plants breath in Carbon Dioxide, they breath out Oxygen.

The Plankton is going nuts now that it has Carbon Dioxide to breath... and of course puts out Oxygen... I think that was taught in about the third grade.

The largest oil spill in the World was when Saddam blew up and cut all the oil pipes in the Kuwait coast line in 1991. Nobody did any kind of cleanup, and there is no oil now to be found in the water.

If you can't scare the hell out of them on top of the water, then go down below!

Don't know if you saw it, but at one point they even had some fool from CNN out with a UV lamp deparately searching for oil on the beaches. I think he found a couple tarballs that later tested to be from a completely different source!

Yeah, Fox news showed up at Bayou Caddy for a few days. Some fishermen took them directly out to where there was a "Massive fish kill"... Seems that if it was the oil, the fish would have been dead all along the gulf coast not in one small area.

I wouldn't have put it past some of them to put poison into the water and kill fish to make a 'blame the oil game", the next day all the dead fish were gone. Seems these guys knew exactly where to take the news crews as it happened.

I really hate that type of crap, if there is truly an issue then deal with it, but to create one by killing hundreds of fish as a ploy, that is even more criminal.
