GULF OIL SPILL: TOXIC REPORT
One must consider themselves half a shade toward insane if they can look out at that big beautiful Gulf and decide to hit the "last" dawn patrol of the 2010 season.You BP dudes totally fucked the surf. So bogus.
Government officials have not closed waters for swimming, surfing, or diving...yet. But with literally tons of Corexit dumped from government planes, a chemical banned in the UK because of its proven toxicity to human and marine life, a morning dawn patrol for the next six to eight months may not be in our futures.
Independent scientists have confirmed the ambient air content of Benzene in the Venice, Louisiana area is now .9 parts Benzene to 1000 parts air --.1 is considered lethal by the EPA. So not only by sneaking a dawn patrol are you subjecting yourself to an industrial-strength scrubbing to get the toxic mix of tar balls and dispersants off your skin, but you're threatening yourself with a vaporous toxin proven carcinogenic -- that means it can cause cancer, folks.

It's difficult to believe that in the 21st century the moron execs at BP didn't have an emergency plan in place for just such a scenario. It's also hard to believe the government didn't require one.
There's not enough Corexit in the world to disapate an ever growing oil spill without extreme damage to the environment over and above just letting it dissapate, messy as that is, if they ever plug the damn thing.
Morons! The next company that wants to drill a well (and I believe in offshore drilling) had better have something in place. BP better be forced to pay all of the economic damage from this as well. All of the fishing loss, tourism, etc.
And while we're at it, let's look at all of the billions these oil companies have made without paying US income taxes.
