Gulf. The whole area has now been changed, damaged. No amount of money,or boats or workers will put the area back to pre-spill conditions. What is the true worth of an uncontaminated beach? The whole thing is Sickening. Just sickening. After clean-up crews have given up and gone home. The tons of oil left will be left to natural Processes. But these that take a tremendously long time- Natural breakdown, Weathering, will have to remediate this disaster as man can't begin to. How many human generations will that take? Only raw emotions of horror to hopelessly watch the environmental damage from safety of a computer screen. To those from the Gulf area, my heart is heavy for your horror, worries and burdens and helplessness in battling this environmental nightmare that never should have happened. RB, Canada
