As if the dispersants themselves weren't toxic enough, the 1.8 million gallons of Corexit 9500 (oil dispersant) sprayed on BP's spill in the Gulf of Mexico breaks down the oil, releasing some of the most toxic chemicals already in the oil into the water, dramatically increasing the toxicity of the spill.

1. its like radiation - you can't see it but its there


why any mother would let her kids be on a Gulf beach or in the water is beyond me.

the US govt is being criminal in not broadcasting just how dangerous the Gulf has become.

2. This video clip is EXCELLENT
everybody please watch it and forward it. It explains why (many scientists believe) that the Corexit made the oil MORE toxic and MORE lethal to marine life. This is the news that's being suppressed now. Please help to make sure that more people know the truth.

The worst death and destruction in the Gulf is yet to come.

3. Reliving the '80s
Country bogged down in an unwinnable war in Afghanistan? --check
Country hit by an environmental disaster covering hundred of square miles? --check
Country led by a well-meaning guy who can't effect the changes needed? --check

Yup, the US the following the exact same road as the USSR. Enjoy the ride.

4. we admire president Obama
President Obama is highly admired in Europe. He is a great man, and the US problems should be gradually solved.
