EPA and NOAA Ignoring Gulf Coast Questions

In a disappointing but effective article by Aljazeera, Gulf Coast residents and scientists discuss their trials with the EPA and the NOAA in which they continually try to get the attention of the two agencies to address their ongoing health questions about the toxicity of the oil and the dispersants many believe continue to be used in the Gulf.

For today…60 minutes…

Last night, I drove round my city, going to hospitals, talking to people who were thinking about suicide or who had just tried it. I spoke on the phone to people who had attempted the day before or who couldn’t remember anything they did last week.

The Head, It Spins…

In a quick perusal of the news this morning…and yesterday for that matter, I felt like a boxer taking punch after punch…and I gotta say it, I’m aggravated and disappointed, yet at the same time, more comfortable and secure in the correctness of my views that the government doesn’t care about anything but corporations and what they believe they can get away with, the problem with wilileaks … Continue reading The Head, It Spins…

Making Things Right…By Whose Definition?

Making things right. Over the past seven months or so this has become the new slogan, British Petroleum’s brand new bumper sticker they wish to slap on every American’s forehead who is paying attention to the Gulf. The CEO says it. The underlings say it. The television throws it at you every chance it gets. But what does that even mean? And who gets to … Continue reading Making Things Right…By Whose Definition?
