I haven't posted about this before, because, ah, you know, what do I know? And it seems both too far away and too horrible to really contemplate, if you know what I mean.
But I have to confess to thinking ... why the hell can they not just pump it out of the water? It's oil and water, and the expression goes. They don't mix. Is it that hard to separate them? If it was the other way round, and there was water getting into the oil, would they be working harder on a solution? As opposed to just pouring toxins on top of the mess. Maybe I was being too simplistic - and yet, there's this...
How can they not be prepared for something like this? Why did they not spend the money to safeguard against it? Why are they not taking James Cameron's offer of sci fi submarines and ACTING on it?
That is all, really.
I just got a text from a friend, she got attacked on the weekend and has a broken bone in her foot - off to have tea and give sympathy forthwith. GAH. Stupid World.

Stupid world, indeed.
I thought that - oil floats on water. How hard can it be to take it off if you have a plan in place?
