Those greedy damned oil companies!  Reading your summary, you'd think they did something intentional.  Nevermind the fact that Yellowstone has been at flood levels for a while now...

Intent doesn't really matter.  That shit is their responsibility to contain.

They've taken responsibility for the cleanup.  Until technology discovers some magical, unicorn, fairytale pipe that doesn't rupture, this risk will always be there.  It's not the end of the world...

I guess I could be less outraged if they did this shit in downtown Detroit.  Instead they drag their oily dicks through the few (previously) unspoiled places left in our country.

I like driving my car. 

Riding a bike to work is impractical.

Yeah...  I'm sure they muscled that pipeline exactly where they wanted without any regard for anyone or anything in their way.  Damned evil corporations...  Meanwhile, the Gulf is still in shambles cuz o' dem bad ol' oil cumpaneez.  I hear that the beaches are covered in tar and that the fishing industry has been destroyed.

The tech is in place to transfer the unrefined oil directly from the oil fields to your gas tank.

Kind of like a mother and child eh?

You're going to have to prove that.  And by proof, I mean pictures of the actual act or seven sets of conclusive DNA results. 

BTW, you're invited to the "I just fucked up Yellowstone" house party.  There will be strippers and cocaine.  Yogi Bear will be there, too.

Ummm...  Yogi won't be making the party.  I just solved a problem...

Phucker stole my travel humidor.  I had to do it.

The economic impact of that was tremendous all along this coast.

Tis is be true. The fishing industry was hammered pretty good from what some buddies told me that use to make a good bit of money from it. Not so much the last couple of years. The shrimp are just now returning to somewhat of a resemblance of what it use to be. Never mind the Orients drudging the ocean bottom for the last 10 years.

I don't doubt it, but it was temporary and overblown.  Not to mention, the government didn't meet any of their legal obligations, by the way.

Compounding the problem is that no one came to visit last year.  Apart from the military, tourism is the bulk of the industry down here.  This year is looking up, but we had a pile of economic casualties.

You know not of what you speak.

I didn't get an invitation

[Snaggletiger]

I visited several times and left many $$$ for teh beers.  Except the time you bought.

I did.  And I spent money in resturants and shops. 

Of course, it was in the town of Orange Beach, so you didn't get any of the tax benefits as a Florida resident.

Sorry, wes!
