Yes
that was a good overview,

And I agree with this quote
| "I
was very upset at the time that we did not have
the courage … to burn the ship," said Gail
Phillips, the executive director of the Exxon
Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council in Anchorage.
"For the money that's been spent and the
losses that are out there, it would have been
cheap just to burn the ship." |
Where
exactly was the spill located, anyway?
What's a shame is that no one among these 'check it out'
agencies have considered the cost to humans ... both that
lived near the beaches that were sprayed with poison (Inipol
EAP 22 or Corexit)
nor the workers themselves. Joe Hazelwood got off too
light. They should retry him for manslaughter.
I agree with this quote,

Some
conservationists warn that the memory of Exxon
Valdez may be fading
|
The
native carver that made the one-of-a-kind "Joe
Hazelwood mask" said that the last 2 stops of the
Smithsonian art tour, they just didn't happen to have a case
to display it in ... 'hmm said Jerry Laktonen, just like the
holocost ... it never happened'
I disagree with the results of the 'studies on the
environment' and what should be done in future. Clean
more birds? The efforts in Valdez animal recovery
were a failure. Some birds/seals were saved in the Seward
efforts, but almost no birds ended up surviving from the
Valdez efforts. They can't keep warm, either, when you
'wash' the feathers and remove their natural oils. 
I bet if you found the workers who were drenched in oil and
Dawn, or just walking around nearby where the vapors were in
the air, you would find others like artist, Joy, with CLL
and blood damage. I bet Robin
Crochet who had a spleen and pancreas removed
and a daughter born with major heart defects ... would never
volunteer again, nor would her co-worker, Marc
Della Rocca, son of a prominent neurosurgeon. I
wonder if his family noticed changes in him, or whether he
is living in health ... or even still alive? For some reason
Robin wanted to contact Marc. She said he was very
intelligent. Anyone know where he is? If
you worked on this oil spill 'cleanup,' please share what
you did & how you are!
| I
can tell you about 2 other 'volunteers.' One
just delivered lunches and supplies to the beaches
and she has HORRIBLE headaches, short term memory
loss. Doctors are giving very strong medicine
for headaches, & I fear they will harm her
more.
Another volunteer
has been diagnosed with too may immature red blood
cells and the doctors are 'bleeding her' How
barbaric, are we in the dark ages? ... back to using
leaches for medical science? Why would they do
that? Soon she may not have enough blood, and
they are bleeding her? |
If you want to find the chronic FATIGUE syndrome cause, ask
your doctor to check for acquired autoimmune hemolytic
anemia. The blood tests don't give any indication that the
doctor should look here. There will be
blood in urine and the retic
rate rises with exposure to 2-butoxyethanol but
diminishes over time. Study everything about the red blood
cells and you will find your answers. Their age, their size,
their shape, their membranes? The ratio is off between
mature and immature red blood cells. Too many are immature.
Blood is thick and dark, say workers.
"The human toll alone is not worth it!" Dr. John
Middaugh, Alaska
State Dept of Epidemiology
Put more of that 2-butoxyethanol from these Exxon
'concoctions' in our oceans??? Horrors ... this is the cause
of the loss
of 80% of the herring ... in 1993, if you look
more closely
And we take a failed effort and just because something was
'tried' pass it on to other nations? Like the 1995
Australian oil spill cleanup where they 'bought' the Corexit
idea and even make their own. Where it has been sold to the
Dept of Defense. Where they used it from airplanes in Aug,
2003 and the breeze blew that poison into the eyes of
Karachi citizens. They want to do a health study of their
people, and I hope they do! (Some
harmed from this chemical, ethylene
glycol monobutyl ether)
Deprive
our nation of its natural resources in ANWAR?
Bad
plan
What will you learn about the
Exxon Valdez oil spill when you come to Valdez?
Not much
What do tourists think? Says
one ...
Exile the Exxon Valdez (now renamed the Sea River
Mediterranian) from entering our area ... (or even any USA
shores?) NO! It
wasn't the ships fault!
Tell your US
Representative and US Senators what you think!
Ban
this 2-butoxyethanol,
but Bring Back the Exxon Valdez! the
ship's story
AND
open ANWAR!
