Most people realize this. The problem is they don't know how to fix the shit that they fuck up.
 
Yeah, but I've seen first hand what happens to many areas around here when the plant life dies off. The land literally disappears. My biologist friend that works for the Wetlands Foundation said that that happens around 30% of the time. Just that 30% is enough to really screw us around here.
 
yea, but it will take a lot of time. this, in turn, will devastate the economies in that region. As if fishermen made a ton of cash anyway.
 
People outside of the industry don't seem to get how big BP and it's subsidiaries are.
 
what pisses me off is there are a small number of people who have consistently been against off shore drilling for reasons like this, and then a catastrophe happens and now EVERYONE is against offshore drilling.

fucking idiot Americans who only care to know about shit when it hits CNN.com, you should WANT to know about this stuff and the effect an oil spill could have AGAIN on an eco system, especially one like in LA/MS area.

The plants' root system is what keeps the earth there. If the plants die out, the root systems become weak and the earth(dirt,mud,whatever you want to call it) gets washed away.
