After Obama's speech the other night a few locals in Louisiana were interviewed, including one particularly hostile woman who is mayor of a city or parish or something. She said that the moratorium on drilling was ridiculous because "there are 70 oil rigs in the Gulf and ONLY ONE is leaking" and then she went on to bitch about the price of gasoline and how it will go up to $5 per gallon. Pardon me, but these are stupid statements. If ONLY ONE blowout can do this much damage, it's certainly worth considering the ramifications if another one were to blow out. As far as the price of gasoline, Americans are spoiled and even at $3 per gallon we come out so cheap it's ridiculous. While I'm really sorry for those whose jobs are on the line in the Gulf because of the moratorium I think the bigger picture is what happens to the Gulf if this oil spill kills everything in it.
