I haven't been watching/reading the news. I had just heard a bit about the oil spill and had no idea it was this bad until Tetrix told me in chat last night.
It's horrible. They say it is the biggest oil spill ever. Fishermen are already affected. They can't fish right now in the most fertile water because the oil is headed that way.
I just really hope that people are making it worse than it really is, but it really doesn't sound good. That much oil has to affect something eventually.
I feel a bit guilty because the first thing I was worried about was if there is going to be oysters, shrimp and crawfish to eat in NO during my trip there.
Then I realized that the fishermen are facing losing their livlihoods and not having seafood just can't compare with that.
I really hope people are wrong when they say it could 10 years to clean up the mess.
