*applauds* Thank you for writing this. Just for the record, I've never thumped ANYONE with the bible EVER! Southern stereotypes make me sad.

Amen sister!
I was in the pan-handle yesterday and personally I didn't see anyone marrying their sister or walking around barefoot. It was just too damn hot. Maybe they do it on weekends during Jesus camp.

and yay for you helping with the cleaning and educating your sprogs.
The BFF and I took our boys to Wakulla Springs in October. That place is awesome.
Hug up on a manatee for me.

I may be every bit the soulless, heartless mafioso but I <3 you. HARD.

Seriously though I can't imagine the mind set of anyone who would bring regional stereotypes into this disaster. My not entirely black heart goes out to every human and animal that is suffering because of this right now.

Thanks for the donation links.

Yeah, I'm with the others scratching their heads over people hauling out geographic stereotypes for this issue. That has what to do with this exactly? No matter where you live in the US, we're all using the oil that was being pumped out of the gulf.

This whole situation makes me extremely angry and disillusioned, if that's even possible. What a disaster.

WORD on the stereotyping issues.

I'll be in Clearwater, FL next week on a business conference. And I'm worried about what I'll find. As you say, this is food for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people. Everything interlinks too, if we lose the Gulf as a fish source, we may lose so much more worldwide.

Regulation helps. Heaven knows I never thought I'd agree with James Cameron on anything, but his remark yesterday that asking BP for the evidence was like asking a thief to provide evidence of a robbery [/paraphrase] is not far off.

What about protected areas like South Padre Island? What's happening to them?
