You are so right. On saturday 90% of the sheeple are boozing it up and going to Target/WalMart/IronMan2.
What's wrong with Iron Man 2?
It rocked my jocks
Few people are more apocalyptic than Matt Simmons, retired chairman of the energy investment banking firm Simmons & Co. International, and a veteran of 41 years in the industry. Simmons, who will speak at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston this week, has been famous in recent years for warning that the industry is running out of oil. Now he sees a disaster on an epic scale as the pressurized subterranean reservoir known as the Macondo field, estimated to hold 50 million barrels of oil, continues to vent into the gulf. "It really is a catastrophe," Simmons said. "I don't think they're going to be able to put the leak out until the reservoir depletes. It's just too technically challenging."

Revelation 8:8-11 (New King James Version)
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck
8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Has anyone seen the pictures of the oil spill? What color is it? What does it look like to you? Don't know what to make of it, but I'm becoming more and more a man of faith!

Everyone I speak to says I am exaggerating the severity of this disaster. I can understand why they think that because there is little or no attention on it any more and estimates are still on the low end of 5000 barrels. I am informed because I come here and read all the articles posted on here on the subject and then some.
The reason they are giving for the Dome not working may not even be the real reason, either. The reason it isn't working is because the chasm the oil is pouring from is just too big for containment. Why else do you think they are stating that it will take two years to permanently fix it? They are telling so many lies, they have lost track already.

Well, there you go.... Bread and Circus just like Caesar said.
Yes, this is EPIC in it's scope. I have created 4 threads about it. but people will need to keep some humor b/c it's gonna get ugly. I suspect Pres Obama will be going on primetime soon enough to tell the american people some sobering news....
AND... if this is biblical.....????.... we know where it ends. Get right with yourself and the Divine. tell people you love them. be happy. smile. pray. chant the divine names. hug your cats. play with your dog. read to your children. make love to your partner. turn off the TV. get off ATS get on your knees and forgive yourself. then stand like a warrior and face destiny!!!
It rocked my jocks

You have successfully contradicted yourself in two short paragraphs. GET IT TOGETHER MAN!!

Has anyone heard what I said? There is still oil on the beach because of EXXON up here in Alaska! This problem will be here for a long time, and the longer it is allowed to go on, the more area it will inhabit, for a long time!
More than 200,000 gallons of crude have spewed into the Gulf since a rig exploded April 20, killing 11. The containment box, a method never before attempted at such depths, had been considered the best hope of stanching the flow in the short term.
While the precise cause is still under investigation, the sequence of events described in the interviews provides the most detailed account of the April 20 blast that killed 11 workers and touched off the underwater gusher that has poured more than 3 million gallons of crude into the Gulf.

No one is sure how much oil is leaking. The Coast Guard initially said there was no leak, then said there was a leak of 1,000 barrels a day, then upped the estimate to 5,000 barrels. On Tuesday, BP officials put the worst-case scenario at 60,000 barrels a day.
