Hound some will suffer for sure, but all will be made whole before it is a settled and closed deal. But for others it has been a bananza. One anectdote from a freind of a neighbor. He has charter fishing boats. BP is paying him 3k a week for lost revenue while at the same time 'leasing' him and his boat for nearly three times what he has EVER been able to charge tourists.

Sceince is just now beginning to ralize how resilliant Mother Earth really is. On a global scale, this is equivical to a pimple on an elephants butt. Will economies be affected? Yes. Will the 'fishing grounds' move? Most certainly. Will the entire gulf ecosystem be destroyed? Not a chance in hell!

The doomsayers are always the vocal minority. In 91 when Saddam blew the oill wells in Kuwait all you heard was crap like 'nuclear winter', they will burn for at least 10 years, global climate catastrohie, ad naseum. In less than a year the problem was abated, but a great portion was in the first 90 days. No permenant damage. VAldez? That shoreline in now pristine. Don't believe take a trip on Google Earth and look for yourself.

Is this leak a good thing? I'll play Devels Advocate and say yes in one regard. It took this test of the man child for those with blinders on and tingles up there legs to see him for what he really is. He is what we get when you combine affirmative action with the Peter Principle. I predict that using his Tuesday night speech to push his politcal agenda of cap and tax will go down as a major turning point in his tenure.
