BP oil continues to pollute on land : The Thin Green Line
I feel so angry. WHY isn't BP required to dispose of this waste safely?

thank your politicians, on both sides, that sold away property rights and let big companies do anything as long as they pay off the right people. BP would have been out of business and its employees & execs in jail already if we had politicians and laws that were made for citizens instead of businesses

If Bush had given BP $308m in stimulus, you'd be baying like a fucking wolf for his blood. But, because it's Obama.... all of a sudden it's 'both side'.... fuck you, blu. This Administration owe this one.
And... in order to put anyone in jail.... we're supposed to try and convict them in a court of law.... not the fucking media.... moron.
Long-term health effects of exposure to benzene
The major effect of benzene from long-term exposure is on the blood. (Long-term exposure means exposure of a year or more.) Benzene causes harmful effects on the bone marrow and can cause a decrease in red blood cells, leading to anemia. It can also cause excessive bleeding and can affect the immune system, increasing the chance for infection.
Some women who breathed high levels of benzene for many months had irregular menstrual periods and a decrease in the size of their ovaries. It is not known whether benzene exposure affects the developing fetus in pregnant women or fertility in men.
Animal studies have shown low birth weights, delayed bone formation, and bone marrow damage when pregnant animals breathed benzene.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that benzene causes cancer in humans. Long-term exposure to high levels of benzene in the air can cause leukemia, cancer of the blood-forming organs.
It's not radioactive folks...

what? the worst of the laws giving oil companies exemptions from environmental regulations were written by the oil companies themselves during the bush administration.
also, the people would still go to trial, but during that time they would sit in jail without bail and when they were found guilty they would be given the maximum sentence

Even at environmentally compliant landfills, oil spill waste could leach through the landfill liners and into groundwater or mix with the household chemicals already permitted at the sites with unpredictable effects. Environmental justice is also an issue: the communities near the landfills in question are disproportionately poor and black.
Apparently there is NO WHERE on land where the oil spill waste could be placed.
It seems there's only one rational solution: A space-craft designed to carry more than 50,000 tons to the sun.

Good idea. Send it back to where it originated.

By "dispose of safely".....what do you mean?

Should it be burned?
What about poor black communities down-wind?

Perhaps a special Act of Congress to Stimulate the economy using another $1 T the USA doesn't have could be granted towards this important program.
