I 'd like to put a fuckin bullet in his head, lets drill into your skull mother fucker before we drill off of florida's coast

It's obvious there are many negative implications for florida for this. If the oil people are not confident and secure in their statements what does that mean? If it wasn't a big deal they'd be stating statistics and with confidence. They know it's wrong. If you drill everything, where do you go to escape rest and relax from an otherwise chaotic world? I don't recall any artists painting's or pictures ever including a drilling platform in the background. Florida's tourism become exported jobs

How stupid your statement is 7 million gallons were not spilled ?The oil was spilled because of a hurricane not ordinary drilling (duh),If the gulf countries can drill with out any spills then why can't we ?There is far more danger in us buying all of our oil from terrorists than worrying about a few fish ,You had better be worried about the mighty O taking us down the road to socialism then a few fish.

The Coast Guard estimates more than 7 million gallons of oil were spilled from industrial plants, storage depots and other facilities around southeast Louisiana, during Hurricane Katrina.

That is about two-thirds as much oil as spilled from the Exxon Valdez tanker in 1989.

HaHaHa, Listen to that old guy in the blue shirts explanation at 0:43 of why they should be allowed to drill on protected sea habitat. It is ridiculous. "We need to keep ruining the world, so are kids can have the same oppurtunities to ruin it, if theres anything left". Subconciously thats what he really meant.
