Yeah, right.  It's for The Environment.

The Public Relations Environment.

Even though BP was cajoled by public outrage to stop preventing the 
collection of live sea turtles before burning them alive in burn pools, it 
was the U.S. Coast Guard who wimped out and looked the other way while the 
turtles roasted alive.

Meanwhile, BP continues to receive a US $265,000 dollar a day tax exemption 
for the lease cost of the rig.  Along with scores of rigs and other 
exemptions for other oil companies.

Poor babies.

So get out them long lenses, image stabilization, bean bags, pirogues 
disguised as floating booms and keep snapping away!!!

Maybe Doug Herr can throw his rig in a U-Haul and sneak in with boom 
revealing DMR/Telyt 560 stuff.  Just a suggestion.


Cheers to all,

Bob
