Alert: Obama Warns World Leaders ‘Millions Could Die’ From Gulf Oil Disaster:
The toxic chemicals that were used is poisoning everything in its path, possible massive evacuations, oil & toxic rains, BP workers/local folks falling ill, who knows how this is all going to end? This is so catastrophic. My heart goes out to all those effected by this horrible disaster.
1|1|Who are you, and why do you keep posting all this negative crap??|missy|lovetotrade@hotmail.com|06:10:25|07/01/2010|
Please STOP! 2|2|Why do you even read her posts if they upset you so much|ForrestLayne|wechuckwood@gmail.com|08:19:17|07/01/2010|
just skip over posts or posters.
The world right now is full of negatives ..but it is in how you deal with it. Staying ahead and preparing for the worst helps in the long-run.
Yes the Gulf oil Disaster is very negative but we will have to deal with it. It is not going away.
Lake Nyos in Africa (1986)is just a small example of what can happen.
Just the pictures and videos from the gulf is awful. What amazes me is that people are still going to the beaches and letting their children in the water.
3|1|This is NOT negative CRAP....... It's very, very REAL!|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|08:51:07|07/01/2010|
A LOT of people have already been affected by what has been happening since the rig blew up in April and many many MORE will be affected in the coming YEARS. Why is it so hard for people to read what our ELECTED officials are saying about it? Why is it so hard for people to read what scientists are saying about it? Why is it so hard for people to read about similar situations that have happened in the past? You know what they say............ "history is the best predictor of the future" and if we can LEARN from what happened in Africa and Alaska and use the knowledge to the best of our ability perhaps we can stave off a minimal amount of the horrific consequences of the leak.
Don't jump all over Sharon for posting things we SHOULD be seeing......... if you don't like her or her posts then just skip over them. It's not like she's standing over your desk MAKING you read every single article she posts. After reading this article myself I have to wonder if you even DID read it or if you just jumped the gun because you know Sharon is against Obama and his name is in the title of the article. Perhaps you should actually READ this article, I don't believe Sharon posted it to be "mean" or "slanderous" about Obama in ANY way....... Some of the things he is saying could come TRUE!

I thought alot of people come to these RS boards for friendship, fun and diversion, AND to save a bit of money! NOT to be reminded of the current state of disaster that this country is in! What does she hope to accomplish by posting this stuff? It's not like any of us can do a thing about it! These posts are real DOWNERS and we don't need them here. And I am just as entitled to my opinion, and entitled to voice it, as anyone else is.
Sure I could skip over them, BUT, I do like to know what is in it, so that I can have an educated opinion. YES, I did read it, before posting! And the trader who suggested otherwise should not have jumped down MY throat!
PLEASE post these things in some other forum, where the readers like to read all the "Gloom & Doom".
To suggest that an entire area, with millions of people, may have to be evacuated, is ludicrous and anxiety-provoking. It was surely posted to cause PANIC and upset, neither of which is a positive outcome from that post!
AND, if you don't like MY opinions and/or posts, YOU can skip over mine as well!
Let's all try to have a HAPPY day!

Who are you? Fortunately, I'm not subjected to religious intolerance in my life. I am not religious, and you will need to just move on. I'm sure you have heard much worse from other people. You are lucky I didn't using Jesus' middle name...Horatio...as in "Jesus Horatio Christ!". LOL

I personally find it abrasive and offensive to read so many religious posts from people, but I let is slide. I cannot do anything about these posts, and I realize that talking about God is a mainstay of many people's social life. I just don't agree with it all. I wasn't using profanity, so any offense would seem to be a personal problem of the offended. No?
As for your last question: I've been told I was going to Hell by a variety of people, so no...my hackles don't get raised.

15|1|Well....|whitmarg|robin@whitmannet.com|10:50:32|07/02/2010|
While "millions" might not die -- millions of humans -- there will be a great loss of sea life, which of course, could reach millions. While people may sit there and ask "so what?" we have to remember that each species on earth has a purpose. Just take the most obvious - commerce. How likely is shrimping and fishing industry in the gulf to rebound in the foreseeable future? Think of how many people this impacts. Boats that are sitting at a dock; traps that are not in the water. Businesses that are not getting product; people who are not working; families who are not paying bills; homes that are being abandoned; families who are breaking up; an economy that didn't need help collapsing, continuing to do just that.
This isn't a "gulf" problem. This is a global problem. Tar balls are showing up in all sorts of places and will continue to because, as Joy pointed out, the gulf is not a contained body of water. A few weeks ago when the hurricane season started, I watched a program that addressed the fact that when there are winds and rains, not only do things fall, but they also rise, as does moisture normally. So think for a minute of whipping winds and rains in the gulf, picking up small pieces of tar and depositing them... anywhere. Laugh and scoff if you want, but when Mt St Helens in Washington State erupted years ago, we had ash in Boston. When the forest fires were burning in Canada a few weeks ago, we smelled smoke and had had smoke enough in the northeast to impact air travel. Is a forest fire in Canada MY problem? You bet your ass -- if I can't fly out of Boston because of a smoke cloud. That's not fiction - that's fact.
So is it out of the question that you may find little oil spots on your windshield after a rain storm? Nope, not at all.
While this all seems like gloom and doom (and don't we have more than our fair share lately?) its something we have to be aware of. Watch the stock market this week? Dropping like a lead balloon. They are saying because all those people who have been on extended unemployment will fall off those ranks this week. And you best believe that in the south, those whose jobs are impacted by the oil rig are getting on the ranks of unemployment. These aren't people who want to do that -- they HAVE to do it. Because the big bad BP didn't care enough to keep their rig up to current safety codes or to have the decency to think "what if" and prepared for the event that things would go wrong.
What about all those gas station leaseholders who were bought out about 6 months ago by BP (Texaco, Getty and Lukoil in my area) who are now sitting in their stations watching potential and past customers drive right by them because they don't want to support BP? It's not their faults, but they are feeling the pain. We never had BP stations in the greater Boston area -- we have TONS of them now and I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a single car EVER in any of these stations getting gas. NEVER. More people who aren't making money to contribute to the economy.
So, this issue has very very VERY long arms -- it effects you and it effects me. And it is killing millions of God's creatures as well as a way of life for millions of others.

That's wrong you know. We do have the right (so far...) to criticize the government; criticize the president; and criticize how things are done or not done in this country. But when sects of people around the country attempt to styfle that, it's the beginning of the wave that is currently spreading across our country where these rights are disappearing.
In a town near me, people lost their jobs because on off hours, in a non-work environment, with non-work people they were overheard criticizing their boss.
In DC, a well decorated military man was relieved of his post in Afghanistan because he criticized his boss.
Those are facts --- and that's where we're going. Why? Because somewhere along the line someone has decided that our first amendment rights to freedom of speech that thousands of military men and women have fought and DIED for is no longer a right that we deserve.

...and the truth often hurts, doesn't it? I am not intolerant of anyone's opinions (even those of the like of you and Sharon and others here at RS). What I AM intolerant of is allowing people to post unsubstantiated, half-truths or outright lies, about topics which they are so obviously fanatical about. Blind fanaticism and a constantly narrow, closed-mind will do nothing but reinforce real intolerance. Helping to spread the propaganda of the far-right wing does nobody any favors.

I can call out untrue topics or statements when the real facts show otherwise...I sure can. Most of the political posts made by Sharon and a couple of others here at RS are simply NOT TRUE. The facts can easily be Googled, so it's not as if I am just pulling my assertions out of thin air. A reasonable person would have to look no further than the websites from which the articles are posted, to realize that the information from these sites is going to be highly slanted towards the right-wing, anti-Obama, anti-progressive political field.

This is an extremely stressful, all-encompassing and toxic assault on our environment. Whether we realize it now or not, this is going to make many, many people sick and even very ill over time. This will destroy much of our lovely gulf, and will poison those who try to support these cleanup efforts by purchasing seafood from there. This makes me nauseous to think about. There are very serious and long term problems stemming from this disaster, and BP is not being completely straight with us about the damages. If there is a hurricane that hits the gulf (I'm sorry, WHEN), all kinds of horrible things will happen such as the toxic gas from the oil spill (methane, benzene) will travel with the rain and affect people offshore. This is a problem not soon corrected and sickens me to my very core. It's one thing that we're all dependent on oil...don't we have to be? This is irresponsibility on a corporate level..there is documentation that they were not careful with safety measures. And I'm not sure that this can ever be corrected...this is the worst disaster anyone has ever seen. Believe me when I say that there WILL BE something called the 'BP Syndrome' because all of those poor fisherman and people near the spill are all being poisoned. This is so comprehensively sad. 40|2|Noway, I understand and believe YOU 100% Your post is accurate for sure. Frightening as it is.|missy|lovetotrade@hotmail.com|08:36:01|07/08/2010|

1st of all...... it is a VERY thank-less job. No one seems to care what happens to the men and women who clean this stuff up. No one wants to know what's really going on, and being as such, it leads to articles such as the one in the op with guesstimations of the damages that could fall on the human race and the eco system as well. Do you know that BP is using some of the exact same chemicals and disbursements as Exxon did during the Valdez spill? Do you know what the life expectancy was/is for the those who cleaned up the Exxon Valdez spill? It's 51....... all but a few of the people who had cleaned up that spill are DEAD! Some of the current BP spill workers being taken to the hospital and the Dr's are not able to do ANYTHING for them because BP will not release the list of ALL of the actual chemicals being used. My husband was offered a job right at the rig, cleaning this stuff up and I asked him not go and this is why ......... Check out this link for verification.......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRrbqBEGxiw
In any case............. I find it very UNcomforting to see and read what people REALLY think about the people who clean these spills and hazardous wastes. None cares what happens to the people who clean up radiation sites (such as the Savannah River Site), or even the people that risk their lives to clean up the diesel spill on the side of the road when a tanker truck gets into a wreck. No one wants to hear of all the illnesses they endure. No one even cares about these men and women UNTIL their septic tank needs to be pumped after a hurricane or a tornado, or until their electric service needs to be restored after a transformer blows spills gallons of toxic transformer oil all over their yard and the electricians can't come in until the haz team cleans it up, or until it benefits them on a PERSONAL level.
Trust me, these men and women are risking their lives to save the lives of others.... no matter if the contaminant is only 1 gallon or 100 million gallons, each and every time a human being comes into contact with hazardous waste it takes days, weeks, months, or even years off of their lives and they do it to protect YOU, every single one of you! They get continuous schooling to update their knowledge of how the chemicals impact you, them, animals, trees, grass, ect. They work and study hard.
I wouldn't underestimate the power of nature......... who's to say millions WON'T die from this spill? After all, ANYTHING is possible!
Praying for those currently affected by this disaster as well as those who will be in the future.
ps.............. upon rereading my heading I see that it can be taken as me being nasty saying "Missy", that is NOT the intention, I am simply using her name. :)

46|4|Very Well Said, Jackie! |littlewolf|CCsuterlab@aol.com|15:29:36|07/08/2010|
You have a much personal hands on point of view of the situation than most because of your hard-working husband. I agree with everything that you had to say about things. I have seen similar situations but with veterans and the after math of being around the oil fields that were burnt in Iraq. I know that is comparing apples to oranges BUT past events such as that should be a way for people to learn that there will be ramifications to what is happening in the Gulf right now.
For anyone that does not think this will having a lasting effect on ALL of us throughout the country & beyond, you need to stop playing "ostrich" in the sand and see what is going on around you. To quote my husband: "There is not a bubble around the Gulf to keep everything contained there. The toxins will travel whether it is via the water currents, the rain or the animals that manage to travel through the area."
Shaking my head at the mere thought that there are people out there naive enough to believe that it will not affect them just because they did not live right there. Do I need to remind anyone of the volcano eruption that recently happened and affected air travel among other things???
A HUGE thank you to your husband as well as all of the others that put themselves in harm's way every day so that we can live a better life.

There IS so much more to this crisis than I ever imagined. God help us all! 45|1|I know this is disturbing and some don't want to hear the bluntness of the OP...|whitmarg|robin@whitmannet.com|15:12:31|07/08/2010|
And that somehow the "prettier" way it was presented by another contributor made people feel better but, bottom line, the message is the same. Jackie certainly put a more personal spin on this as her husband deals with this day in and day out.
Please don't pull the wool over your eyes and make believe this doesn't really exist. It does. Unfortunately for many people, the situation won't last for a long time simply because they won't last for a long time. None of us is immune. Whenever it rains, and those rains start coming up the coast, you best believe their will be oil in the rain. I'm 2000 miles away from the gulf -- but I know... it will affect me. I feel so bad for those who live closer to the gulf. While the quick and dirty answer is "move" we all know that sometimes it's just not that easy.
This will be a situation that we, as a country, as a species, will need to deal with for a long long time. The yahoos in Washington are not going to fix this; the yahoos at BP are not going to fix this. Most likely, time will do the bulk of the fixing... how much time do you have? 48|2|and how about the 27,000 abandoned wells in the gulf that haven't been checked in decades, when will it happen again|JOYHAPPYONE|DAIDOLA5@AOL.COM|19:23:02|07/08/2010|
