Heard from a former long time AK resident that the marine life still hasn't 
returned and the people who handled the chemical disbursants are either dead 
or messed up (agent orange style).  Anyone else hear that?  And same thing, 
inches under the beach sand, black goo.

Bhopal - government makes an out of court settlement of pennies on the 
dollars.  Doesn't even cover medical for those injured or for the funerals 
of those that died.

Chernobyl - well, it is Russia.  Clear the folks out, shut the town down. 
End of story.

Exxon Valdez - the Good Ol' Boys Club slashes the court award to pennies on 
the dollar and you can still go and pick up rocks and find black goo under 
them.

the ISO 14001 isn't going to have much effect.  It is lip service.

The American sheople don't give a fig.  AND, won't unless someone somehow 
takes all their empty little heads and shakes them until they acquire some 
sense.

What's that old song, Money makes the world go around, the world go around, 
the world go around???

As to BP and the Gulf.  Ah, someone want to tell me how come they learned 
nothing from the other big spill in the Gulf (1979, Ixtoc 1, 140 million 
gallons)?  Or the spill in the Mississippi in 2000?

Or the damage control that was done in Iraq (over 240 million gallosn) in 
'91?

I don't get why there aren't hundreds of volunteers out there cleaning up 
the gunk?  Why did BP need to fly in phoney workers?  Volunteers drove and 
flew in by the hundreds for the Valez cleanup.  Just about every single 
resident of Alaska was out there.

One of the best oil stopping, gunk suckers is sheeps wool.  You fill big 
tubes that look like over grown nylons with the stuff and float it out there 
and it acts like a magnet.  We contacted folks, just like we did for the 
Exxon Valdez mess.  We shipped them tons of wool.  Contacted trucking 
outfits to get empties hauling north to take the bales of wool.  No takers 
in the Gulf.

The sheople won't be happy until they've sucked the life out of the planet! 
Then they'll cry "oh poor me" and look for someone else to blame.

Lynda, who is not going to say a word about the moron and circus of Chicago 
East in the White House.

Lots of IFs there.  I'm afraid I am just a bit too pessimistic to
believe that any lasting good can come out of this, but then again, one
can make a case that the Bhopal incident in 1984, Chernobyl meltdown in
1986 and the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 led to the realization that
there must be international standards for environmental management,
which led to various national standards and international summits, which
eventually became the ISO 14001:1996 environmental standard.  The goal
of 14K1 is to prevent pollution and save natural resources.  Still, many
corporations and organizations that need to have an environmental
management system, don't, and IMO, the primary reason is money.  This BP
spill has cost the company only a few weeks profit, and until companies
stop looking at it as "the cost of doing business", nothing will
change.  Do you see protesters lined up with signs at your local BP
station?  Our own government sees this only as a opportunity for
speechmaking and 'politiking'; despite ads to the contrary, I haven't
seen any real Change there, either.

After the residual problems and illnesses and deaths, that disbursant was
*supposed* to be on the non-approved list.  It is the same disbursant they
are using in the Gulf AND they are getting the same complaints about its
effects.

I have a niece who lives up there, several cousins and a good friend who
owns a magazine who lives up there.  Well, they split their time between AK
and WA.  All tell the same stories about what has happened AND is still
happening.

Massive coverup.
