I do not like reading stories like this one. It makes me think about my use of fuel and it is hard to point the finger at somebody else damaging the environment. I think as humans we have a long way to go in figuring our the right balance between how we us the resources of the earth and how we respect the other animals on this planet.

I just read about a tugboat that spilled a significant amount of oil off the coast of England. There's a lot of talk about automating cars, what about boats? It seems like every little bit we hear about another oil spill that has devastated wildlife and killed a bunch a healthy natural aquatic development. Why does it keep happening? Because people just accept it as a fact of life.

I don't really care about this at all.  I don't care about herring or abalone or whatever the diesel oil harmed.  I think it's ridiculous that the premiere of B.C., of the awful NDP party, would criticize the cleanup crew.  I'm sure they did the best they could in difficult conditions.  But what do you expect when a ship carrying hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel crashes in a relatively remote part of B.C.?  I'm sure the Indians will raise holy hell, since they think they own more than 100% of the province.  But what can be done about any of this now other than clean it up and try not to have it happen again.  Either way I don't care.

Fell terrible for marine life that will be exterminated by this terrible spill. Humans have harmed so many wonderful species through their carelessness and selfish attitude. I just hope that the clean-up will be fast an effective but unfortunately this type of oil is the most dangerous to these innocent creatures. Makes you think about how vulnerable God made animals-he entrusted us to keep them but I think he had too much faith in humanity!
