The gulf oil spill is a huge mess, and BP should be held responsible for their failure to contain it. But don't lose heart, folks. Crude oil occurs naturally, and mother nature has ways of dealing with it. The Gulf is loaded with natural oil seeps. This spill has just dumped a lot more than usual over a much shorter period of time. So while the immediate situation is a gummy mess, I think in two years or less, you'll be hard pressed to find signs of lasting damage.

I agree, even if it does impact florida, time will cure all.
But as to those that feel there is a media hype, not sure what you mean? The oil slick is huge, As I have seen from the air, which is not shown on any media tv station I have viewed. Even what is visible from the air a majority of what is leaking out is not floating on the surface but hanging at different depths. The report that it might get caught in the middle of the gulf and not make it to Fl at all is well and good, but it is a report from the same group that is trying to protect tourism, and not start any panics. I understand their intentions but feel at the same I would rather know the entire truth of a situation. Its not that it could potentialy ruin fishing and diving for a few years, it is much larger then that. I would love to believe everything is awesome and honky dory and no oil is going to effect us. Yes we all know tar balls have floated up on beaches for the last 100 years and it is a normal ocurrence. We will have to wait and see, and hope...
