If I was a bit closer to the spill, I'd put a couple big trash cans in
my boat and a scoop net and go bag me some tar balls or even some
oil. At $100/bbl it wouldn't take much to pay for a trip. They ought
to put a bounty on it.
All those fishermen could be paid to take their nets and go net some
tar balls. BP could pay em by the volume (actually I'd use some
formula basd on density compared to water to avoid paying for water).
BP would then take the collected oil and send it to the refinery.
Dont laugh too much cuz local fishermen have been collecting
cannonball jellyfish to be dried and sold to the Japanese and I bet
most aged tar balls are less oozy than a jellyfish.

Not to mention dangerous.
Already people have been affected by the oil and the dispersant chemicals.

Do you realize you spend 99% of your time on rec.boats conversing with
morons, idiots, and stupid people. I guess that tells us a lot about
you, doesn't it?

I can unnerstand why jps, bpuharic, nom and hk dont go boating, that
hydrogen oxide is dangerous stuff. Their boats should be required to
have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on it. Exposure to large
amounts of Di-hydrogen Oxide can result in nauseau, headaches and
vomiting.

Apparently, you think this is funny and can be taken lightly. The CDC says

most of the people that live close enough to smell this mess are at risk,
too.

If my family was there, they'd be headed to safety.

Does this mean that workers on drill rigs that are constantly exposed
to oil are at risk? I am sure that if you swallowed enough it'd keeel
ya but most smart peeps dont do that.
BP has done FL a big favor in running off all the tourists, good
riddance.

In reality, this is not much diff from the exhaust from your average
two cycle outboard motor.

You're just plain dumb... no other explanation holds, since they don't do
frontal lobotomies any more in psychiatric hospitals.

Yes, they are. Just like house painters tend to have long-term health
problems.
