Well, I've had a few folks slinging spears and arrows in my direction since I started giving my perspective on the media bias of the oil spill fiasco. It's disturbing to see the outright anger from some directed at anyone who doesn't jump on the fatalistic bandwagon. I've been call a "denier" and "absurd". HMM. I don't remember referencing any conspiracy, only the usual media bias. At any rate, I've never said it isn't bad. It's really F***ing bad. Got it, not a problem. The salient point to remember is that the negative images of our area have been well covered already by EVERYONE, thank you very much. I get calls every day from people who think we're covered from head to toe in this shit. I am going to balance that out with anything positive I can find. Remember, the world is watching. If you want to scare them off for good, then keep it up. If you refuse to believe that we're not all going to die from this, so be it. But if you can't stand the positive energy I'm cooking up, you need to get out of my kitchen. If it's really that bad already, why don't we just give up, close up our doors, rollover and die? Maybe everyone would be happier if I did just that. We may end up jobless, homeless, and eating cat food under the I-110 underpass, but at least we acknowledged how terrible things are. FUCK THAT.
Funny though, I just looked up water sampling data from EPA right where we were swimming, and levels for every chemical associated with oil product and dispersants showed up ND (None Detected). Maybe they're just not sampling right.
We all have our own soapboxes, so feel free to use yours any way you want. That's just what I intend to do.
