Geeze, must be awfully annoying always setting off your own alarm.

Few things can set off all five bull**** detectors at once but this
gem is bona fide five-alarm bull****.

"3. The Yellowstone is in full flood and flowing very swiftly, thus
much of the oil will be in the lower Missouri & the Mississippi and
widely dispersed very soon."

The fact of the matter is that the flood has pushed significant
amounts of the oil into fragile wetlands and marshes and it has
*not* washed downstream.

Dumbass.

And this fact is based on? If you study the pictures of the
Yellowstone in that area you will quickly see that:
1. Due to the high level of flooding, MOST streamside wetlands are
underwater with strong current flowing through them. Undoubtedly there
are a few permanent wetlands away from the normal channel that are
affected. However, that is not at odds with my statement about
" ...MUCH of the oil...".
2 A significant amount of oil has been (though, based on the
pictures, is only a small fraction of the 1000 barrels) pushed up onto
dry land pastures and crop land where it certainly can be a problem,
but is also much easier to clean up there than if it remained in the
river. My original comments never addressed this issue, and regardless
are not at odds with it.

You are either a very sloppy reader or ,more likely, choose to ignore
all qualifiers in any statement, and your response is to your skewed
interpretation of what was said or to your skewed perception of the
posters intent.
