13. The term spill does sound too mild, this is far worse than a spill, as for any potential

environmental epiphany, I'm hoping it isn't too late.

The problem is for this to have the maximum sociological impact, too much damage and destruction would be required and I'm not sure at this point that modern society is resilient enough to withstand so harsh of a lesson.

The opposite could occur if this gusher of oil can't be stopped or stopped soon enough, collapse may happen, environmental, economic and eventually societal.

A lesson learned too late and at too much cost, just as some people on death row have learned.

Thanks for the thread, nadinbrzezinski.
