   This cartoon is too stupid for words.

   By all means, let’s let the government protect us from anything that might harm us. I’m not intelligent enough to make my own decisions. I just hope the government will outlaw the fatty foods and Jagermeister next.

   How do you people know this? Are you marine petroleum clean-up experts? In 1979 the Ixtoc 1 well blew out off the coast of Mexico, in the gulf. It wasn’t capped for over 9 months. Some estimates put the release at 140-150 million bbls. of oil. I bet you’ve never even heard of it, let alone were affected by it. Most reports say environmental damage was minimal, granted that’s probably by 1979 standards. This blowout in the gulf is a tragedy, but it’s not the end of the world just because the evening news tells you it is. They will always say the next big thing is the end of the world. They have to, to get you to tune in.
