I agree that we don't need to believe the gov't or BP execs/front men, etc.
Agent Orange was proven decades ago and the results released. It only took them how many decades to release it?
Is this stuff toxic?
Most likely.
Is it resilient entough to remain in the water/sealife for years?
Who knows?
That's why independent groups like this exist:
The Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea
Mote Marine
Clearwater Marine Institute and a host of others.
But this is what I'm talking about

Despite my laid back approach, I do have my concerns.
But there are other areas of the Gulf that are not contaminated. There are other parts of the country to obtain seafood.
I'm not saying ignore the threat, but I dont' want to over sensationalize it either.
FWIW-I haven't swam in the Gulf of Mexico for decades other than as necessary for a swim test and such.
I've considered it "polluted" for years.
