How is this oil spill not a big deal?

Yep me too, I've already seen this type of evidence and decided to avoid it because the PCs and the AMJs will never openly admit, regardless of proof, that WAY more oil "seeps" into the oceans naturally than we have ever spilled or dumped. If these numbers are even close to correct then we have a long way to go. I'm am not saying that the oil spill is "okay" by any means, btw. I actually agree that having a back up plan in place BEFORE an accident happens is definitely the way to go. I just hope that this doesn't forestall our efforts to drill for oil off the coast of NC. I know that a lot of environmentalists are pointing at this and screaming, "see? I told you!!!" While completely ignoring the rather good track record of this type of drilling as a whole. People constantly bring up the Exxon Valdez but forget how many tankers come and go everyday.... Man, I just want to get on my bike and ride and enjoy my spaghetti that I nuked in a plastic bowl....
