Someone commented that hair removes oil. We should use pubes because we're f'd anyway.

I understand occam's razor, a system with less parts has less chance of failing, and all that, but is it me or does it seem like all of these zany schemes that are being thought up to stop the leak are kind of, umm, archiac in 2010? Hay? Garbage?

Doesn't the oil- and water-soaked hay sink and effectively keep oil in the ocean? Or if we can take it back with the oil sticking on it, what do we do? Burn it all?

While it's not the perfect answer, this does sounds like some of the best ones available right now. If there was a perfect answer that would allow us to even use the oil as if it had been normally extracted, we'd be throwing it in the air instead of the water anyway.

More hand-wringing, self-loathing white-guilt. Sorry, not interested.

Compared to the generation we're honoring today, my statement stands. And self-loathing white guilt? Ok....you don't have to explain yourself, but whatever.

The sharpening residues were a threat to proper breathing, but I think it stayed as a secondary choice.
