I was watching a report on hurricane Gustav when the announcer said, ‘these dots on the monitor represent the 3,700 oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.’ When you see 3,700 dots all jumbled together it looks like a large number.

The announcer does not mention the two thousand odd square miles of oxygen deprived water that is its own sea within a sea that is located all around the oil rigs.

I don’t think that the government and the oil companies wanted U.S. citizens to see all those dots, and relate them to the water they have killed. So thanks a lot weather reporters; you have delivered to us a glimmer of truth.

Write to your congressman and senator to demand a ban on off-shore drilling.
