    Are you seriously claiming that all of those people die because they don't wear seat belts or are drunk?
    Hope is the denial of reality

    Low-key gets to have the argument he wants, every time
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Well, if this oil gets into the loop current and around FL, up into the east coast.....that will fuck up so much more. It's unbelievable how this is still going on weeks later.

    Ah HA! But would you kill 50,000 people to make the oil stop leaking? Huh? Wouldja? HUH! WOULD YOU!?!?! SEE? All your arguments are CRAP! Fuckin' liberal loser.

    I must have missed something.

    No, I probably wouldn't BAN off-shore deep drilling. But I'd stop all the rigs right now and double check their permits and SOPs and safety measures. Might even have them operate at 50% until all this is figured out.

    Might be a good idea to come up with a way to stop leaks before we continue pumping.

    Sure, but we also fly in planes and don't bat an eyelash when the emergency plan is....your seat cushion becomes a flotation device.

    Really the plan is if anything goes very wrong, everyone dies. So, make sure nothing goes very wrong. Someday this will be regarded as madness.

    Pretty much, yeah. We must be collective optimists (or delusional) because we don't plan for worst-case scenarios or long term very well. Levees busting, markets crashing, oil wells leaking. All man-made problems.

    Then it was 2,000 barrels a day.

    Now they claim they are saving 84,000 barrels a day with their 4 inch siphon.


    Wait...what?
    I wonder if that last number might have been mislabeled as barrels and is in fact gallons.

    I wonder how this will affect hurricanes. I suspect the slick will slow evaporation of water causing it to get warmer.
