The dispersants aren't working; they are causing the oil to disperse in small droplets which can enter the skins of fish and birds.
I don't think I have ever been so pissed about a major fuck up like the oil spill.
It's bad enough to see the oil spill from the air. Wait till you see the environment in the deep sea.

it's weird b/c it doesn't seem like this spill is as much of a topic of conversation for people as the Valdez was, and this one is worse...i don't know if the implications are too staggering to get our heads around or what...they are comparing it to a pemex spill that took 9 months to cap i think...or maybe the media isn't covering it as fully or as shrilly as Valdez?
is it just that we feel helpless? the govt and BP seem to be each pointing fingers at the other while avoiding the issue of whether or not anybody in the whole world is actually equipped to handle it
