Well, I called my old buddy from my college days, Spiro Oilbux, and asked him if he was worried about anything and he said, "Heck, yes, Bobert, that's a lot of oil to loose!" "Well, Spi, how about the cost to the envirmonment?" I asked to which he snapped back: "Ya seen on sea gull and ya seen 'em all!!!" Hmmmmmmm? Bobert |

Maybe you need to spend more time with him now that he is all growed up and show him the right and the wrong of it! Terrible tragedy, though, that leaking tanker. Worse than the Valdez it's been reported. DougR |

Therefore they should have all their assets frozen in order to cover all the costs of bringing the environment back to it's original state prior to this ANYTHING BUT AN ACCIDENT. If this cannot be accomplished or there is a refusal on their part to meet these demands they then should have, under threat of a military invasion, be brought to their knee's & have all their own natural resources put into the recieveship of those more capable of managing them.
