1. I was 4 years old. What a shame that we don't learn from our history and are doomed to repeate it.

3. I was in my late 20's and I remembered the pipeline leak in Alaska....
...but I had forgotten about the leak in the Gulf of Mexico.

- Those who forget the past are condemned......

12. Or.....
...another idea would be to REQUIRE that all off-shore oil rigs drill pressure relief wells (say, 90% completed) BEFORE they're allowed to drill for oil. That way if a catastrophe occurs, relief wells can be employed almost immediately.

13. that could be a compromise for future drilling. hopefully all corporate oil welfare will be taken
out of the yearly fed budget and put into renewable energy projects.
