Nobody is standing in your way.
How about oil suction barges? Is the science still out on those too? I mean they have only been successfully used to actually remove the oil from the environment without using toxic chemicals on other oil spills before but did we had to do a study for a month or 2 to see if they would work? Even then, we had to build our own and even then they shut them down for bullshit reasons.
Everyone down here, including every local government leader, the state leaders, our state reps and senators, the folks in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida ALL think that the Feds are standing in the way of the cleanup and mitigation effort. But hey, you probably heard someone on NPR say that isn't true so all of those folks on the frontlines are wrong and you are right. Rather odd, wouldn't you agree Couillon?
Of course we have been over this before, you just refuse to admit the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if you stick your fingers in your ears and jump around screaming nah-nah-nah so that you can't hear, it still doesn't change reality.
Emotion should not be in science and if the scientists think its a bad idea and needs more research then I'm going to side with the scientists.
We have the best possible experts in the world when it comes to Louisianas wetlands and inland waterways. They have experience with, you know the thing they are actually talking about. Imagine that, but wait, some expert on NPR who has probably never stepped foot in the state somehow knows better than all of the experts down here.
Dump on anyone you want including me,
I "dump" on you because you are ignorantly speaking on a subject that you obviously know nothing about. Yet you continue to jump up and down saying that you are right and everybody else is wrong. No one that has even a smidgen of perspective agrees with you, most people take that as a sign that they are wrong. Not Couillon though, you insist on making foolish statements that others who don't know any better might believe, so I insist on pointing out your foolish statements for exactly what they are. For the most part they are complete bullshit that you probably pulled straight from your ass. I don't even think you glance at the headlines you know so little about what you are trying to speak about.
Of course you don't care, you don't care about the tens of thousands of good hardworking people that have been and continue to get screwed, you don't care about the richest and most diverse regions of wildlife are being destroyed, you don't about an entire states economy being impacted (as long as we keep pumping your oil that is, ooh you get all pissy when we talk about shutting down tankers or the LOOP), you don't seem to care about anything other than yourself. You are a selfish coward who would rather impede and obstruct and then run away instead of trying to help your neighbor. I do care. That is the difference between you and me.
It doesn't take a great mind to be all up in arms over a disaster and focus anger on the first person you THINK messed up.
I can and have proven it time and time again. I won't bother trying to prove it to you because you outright ignore it. The really pathetic part of that is the reason you ignore it, you ignore it because you think it might hurt your political club. If GWB was still in office I bet dollars to doughnuts you would be on "my side".
You guys are in the fog of war right now and rash choices never did any good.
So we are in a war, which you agree with and so does Obama. Yet you think that "no choice" instead of "well thought out and proven tactics that you chose to call rash choices" is how you win a war? Indecisive action, lack of timely action, lack of coordination, lack of logistics/knowledge of your assets, lack of the proper assets, lack of leadership are all things we are dealing with right now. They are also all perfect ways to lose a war. You can not win a war doing all (or most of the time ANY) of the above. Your plan is to wait until the invaders have already conquered you to act because you might have a better plan then. Except its too late to implement your better plan and the war is already over. That is ignorant.
And there is nothing rash about anything we are doing. Its been talked about for months because thats how long we have been asking for it.Yes, we are fighting in a war and we shall continue to do so. We are the only ones that seem to realize that this is a war even though Obama said exactly that but like I said, we are strong willed and hard working folk down here. If you won't help us get it done then we will do it on our own. We sure could use the help but you won't find these cajuns and coonasses sitting around doing nothing waiting for help to come. When the Feds obstruct us it only strengthens our resolve.
Yes, we are fighting a war and we will win it. To us, failure is simply not an option.
