I asked my friend, a marine biologist who knows Louisiana wetlands better than most to comment on ProPublica’s article about the oil spill – his response:<\/p>\n
Where do I start? \u00a0Use up the worlds supply of a material they don’t like employing? \u00a0Ok. \u00a0Headaches, nausea and repro issues in high doses? \u00a0Tequila? \u00a0Valdez? \u00a0Cold water ecosystem vs Gulf of Mexico dynamics? \u00a0Take a swim… \u00a0Next!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
What do THEY suggest? \u00a0Criticism is easy. \u00a0Better ideas are few and far between. \u00a0It’s a big giant in situ study taking place. \u00a0Any new guesses? \u00a0Take a shot at it. \u00a0Nothing is good about this with the exception of learning by mistake or success. \u00a0The tuition may be quite the pill to swallow but no gasoline, plastics… \u00a0You decide!<\/p>\n
I saw a sign being towed behind an airplane flying above Jazz Fest protesting drilling. \u00a0What the fuck? \u00a0Aviation fuel… daaaaa! \u00a0Plastic sign… \u00a0get real.<\/p>\n
The answer? \u00a0I’m waiting for it too. \u00a0Oh, I got it. \u00a0God’s will!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
