The problem is that people are missing the opportunity here. Any entrepreneur worth his/her salt would recognize the potential impact on the prices of sea food and find a way to capitalize on it... whether as a fisherman or other... instead, we piss/moan/wine and demand a handout.
Yes, this sucks.. no doubt. But the amount of legal violations (IMHO) in the effective extorsion of BP by the LA governor and DC should scare everyone.
BKG, the farmed fishing industry is ready to step in and fill the void. Problem, in just a few years as we eat these farmed fish we will forget what a live caught fish tastes like. Like eating the meat substitutes that vegetarians eat, they forget the taste and smell of the real thing.
Live caught fish has a health benefit for us, the farmed fish is akin to farmed chickens vs free range. Free range meat has no steroids, antibodies or chemicals and drugs in them.
They do not have the problem of fish or meat that is kept in close contact, then there are some seafood that cannot be farmed.
Extortion of us, come on BKG, you must be mad. When our government ORDERED BP to stop using a chemical that was dispersing the oil, they just thumbed their nose at us. So Obama chose to ignore their snub and continue to allow BP to run the show.
Obama made the decision to ignore the help from other country's that will in time be effected by this problem and go with his advisers that most likely get campaign moneys or own stock in the company from BP.
This is the time for us to demand Obama clean his house--actually our house the White House.
I do not advocate the overthrow of the country, however it seems like we do need some changes.
Sad, we have the governess of the States effected by the oil spill screaming for help-, we have another Governor screaming for help from the foreign take over of their State--They all get a quick visit and some lip service from our leader.
I do not understand why the effected states do not file for separation from the Union. We are paying taxes without represention, it is time to put Americas future before the bank accounts of the few that own property in other country's and could not give a crap what happens to America, they are out to live the good life and screw others.
Sorry for the rant, I cannot sleep due to pain so I am a bit grumpy.
