The Oil Spill

Here goes. Everybodys heard about about the oil spill, right? well heres the first in a series of posts containing un-biased (ok maybe a bit biased) information and updates. will post weekly. maybe.

Well, according to NPR (a good radio station) the oil has officially entered the food chain!!! Oil particles were found underneath layers of skin and the shells of tiny crabs. No big deal, right? WRONG!! The fish eat the tiny crabs, and we eat the fish(oversimplification). Also, i have heard from sources unmentioned that thier may be a cap on the oil vent by tomorrow. This may solve our problems. But they also have the issue of the oil already spilled. The exxon valdiese spill was a horrible accident in the atlantic, the worlds worst spill ever. Now this vent is spilling that amount of oil every 4DAYS.
>If the cap is put on, how will we deal with what has already spilled?<
