I would think that the fact that the government, which runs the EPA and is supposed to be handling this, has been so concerned with the union vote that it took 2 months to start taking offshore help.... while the oil just keeps spreading and spreading.... would have you guys screaming from the rafters.


Really weird to me.


...and I say this as a very active diver/boater in south florida. My wife and I have already discussed it, and we will be volunteering to help if and when the oil gets here.
