It's a waste of time and money

[jimdana1942]

Cleaning up the oil efforts at this stage are a complete waste of time and money. Wait until the leak is stopped, then make the clean up efforts. Whatever feeble efforts are made today will be erased tomorrow for the oil keeps coming.

It's like calling in a man to treat your house for termites while the house is on fire. Doesn't make any sense.

Unless your a politician.

you serious?

Another effort in futility is cleaning those oil soaked birds and re-releasing them into the wild. Truthfully, what is a wild animal's chances of survival after ingesting oil, being handled by humans, caged, then being re-released into the wild in an unfamiliar habitat?

I guess people will do whatever it takes to make them feel good about themselves.

Perhaps they should concentrate on mining gold until the oil leak is stopped.

Bwwwaaaahahaha

excellent advice. I whole hardily agree.

I suppose you realize Jim ,should a hurricane such as Katrina would pick up, that oil on the surface of the gulf, spreading it as far away as the east coast of the U.S.

LOL. And then hiding in caves asking, "What does all this mean? "

Yea, and we should never clean up our trash until the minute the garbage truck is outside.

We'll just let all the trash, packaging, apple cores, etc rot all over the house.

Troll much?

Well, while we're on the subject,









"What DOES all this mean???"

 

[jimdana1942]

That's just it, most just don't get it. This oil is gushing out at a rate that exceeds by far any measy clean up efforts that have been taking place. I'm not saying don't do anything but if you are gonna make an effort let it be in such a way that will accomplish the goal, not just doing something "to make the public feel good" or for "political photo ops". A shovel and a broom ain't gonna get it. Oil booms are not a 100%, alot of oil gets past them.

Personally, this catastrophy is something that I believe is beyond man's abilities.

They say the Exxon Valdez spill is still strewn all over the coasts of Alaska, 20 years later.

All I am saying is that people along the Gulf Coast and probably eventually the East coast and further, their way of life with regards to this mess will be changed for 100's of years.

We need to do something but I don't think our current technology can do it.

Then there's only one thing left to do.....

Get Tom Cruise on the horn, STAT.

So you think that instead of trying, we should quit, and just throw our arms in the air and say "Ahhh **** it, we're doomed"

Who cares if more spews out per day, than is cleaned up per day? That changes nothing. If you leave the oil on the beaches and in the marshed until the cap is closed, that's just all the more than has to be cleaned up THEN... -and- it's been sitting there poisoning the lands for far longer, and possibly working it's way further inland.

Your logic is nonexistent.

Read my posts. I didn't say do nothing. Just do something that's gonna work. Evidently you can read but you are weak in comprehension.

Jim forgot his meds again...

While we are at it...

Oil cleanup is repugnant to the Constitution.

Pangris, I liked it better when you held the BANana.

Evidently you are weak in logic, because your own post stated there was nothing our current technology can do, so after all your years of sniffing bat guano in the caves of your home planet, what do you reccomend?
