While the attack of 9/11 was constrained within that relatively small area of ground zero, this oil spill stretches out across the sea, upon innocent animals, formerly beautiful coastline and also local industry. I really pray that this atrocity is sorted out as best as is possible. The gulf oil spill is without doubt one of the most awful events of this millennium.

I suppose the good news is that it seems like real progress is being made toward finally ending this mess, though there is clearly a long road ahead from a cleanup standpoint and potentially, a public health standpoint as well. Were people in your community experiencing rashes from inhalation exposure to oil (or burning oil) fumes? I am not a dermatologist, but that would surprise me. I wish you all the best.

Saw migrating song birds fall from the sky on May 1 by the hundreds probably thousands. They were all over our beaches they had been in migration and it was dozens of species. I reported it but it never made the press. Also during this time many of us could smell burning oil, had sore throats and rashes this far from the spill but our air was very bad. This is a huge concern for many of us on the coast. We know it is bad for us. I live on the gulf in Tampa Bay. Saw migrating song birds fall from the sky on May 1 by the hundreds probably thousands.

BP - We're bring oil to America's shores. I died laughing because BP's billion dollar image change to their new sunflower logo is forever going to be associated with the worst environmental disaster to strike America.
