Posting this in case you guys are interested

(National Geo Channel show on the Gulf Oil Spill. I know some people are up to here with it, but I can't seem to get enough info, so...)

1. I do want to watch this....thank you.

Did you see my thread out there with the dead dolphin? I am soooo MAD and heartbroken and upset. And the thought that offshore drilling continues all around the oil spill makes me out of my mind.

I'm probably sound like a crazy lady, but the picture of the dolphin put me over the edge.

2. Jill, I couldn't bring myself to open it. I figured it was probably something like

that and when I see some of those photos, I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach and just a PRESSURE of sorrow comes down on my shoulders. I would love Obama to see that photo (even though I'm chicken to look, I can only imagine how powerful it is).

You don't sound like a crazy lady at all - I totally understand. I'm almost -- maybe all the way -- more upset about the animals and land. We have been encroaching and polluting their environment for centuries and they get no say in it. It's THEIR earth, too!

3. I understand - I can't even watch those Sarah McLaughlin commercials about the abused animals.

I literally turn away when that commercial is on.

"Bless the beasts and the children" :cry:

4. I KNOW! I dive for the remote at the first strains of the music. It

is TOO painful to watch.

5. Same here

I fast-forward through them and try not to look at the TV.Once I was on the computer and I heard a Willie Nelson song, "You were always on my Mind". I turned around and it was abused animals. The words fit the pictures perfectly, something I would never have imagined. I can never hear that song again without those images in my mind.
