Hhuck. I'm glad you have set the record straight. I'm glad you are all knowing and all being. I guess what the state government, scientists, ecoligists, etc are saying is utter bullshit. I happen to live in one of the effected states, and what I'm seeing and hearing is pretty much the opposite of what you are saying here. While it is true that some fishing areas, beaches, etc are opening back up, it is very uncertain that they will remain open.
As to the fact that the oil slick is becoming hard to see, its because so much of the oil is sinking to the ocean floor, and its killing everything its coming into contact with. Yes, it is easy to clean up the beaches. The point you're missing is every day, workers are going out and cleaning the same beaches over and over again, with no end in site. I think you are doing us all a great disservice by trying to minimize whats going on in the gulf.
As for the animals not dying en masse....well thats utter crap. Last week, our local news station's parent company, did a story from Orange Beach/Dauphin Island, on nesting sea turtles. What is happening is hundreds upon thousands of turtle eggs are being relocated to other areas of the gulf and to the Atlantic Coast of Florida. I'm sure that the turtles aren't the only species of animal being transplanted from their homes to new locations to ensure the survival of the species.
