Like a lot of things with a "Chicago connection" , it's in a shallow grave in an Indiana cornfield.

I continue to be surprised by our government with the "facts" they try to make us believe. Are we not educated Americans? Am I really to believe over 1 million gallons of oil simply dissapeared into the abyss? Yeaaaa not so much. While I am sure the gov't and clean-up crews got some, the sun dissipated another portion and the currents also broke up a lot of the big patches I do not doubt for a second that under the surface a river of black runs through.

When a factory belches out big black smoke into the air, and then the wind dissapates it.

I can't see it anymore.

Therefore it's "gone".

Nothing to worry about. The oil has been removed "beyond the environment."

Sorry QuickMick, talking about environmental issues in regards to the oceans is not considered sailing related and this thread is going to have to be moved to the Politics and Religion forum.

Hey, you got lucky. They just moved it to regular off topic. You must not be as much of a trouble maker as I am.
