Honestly I do feel badly for them in the
Bay area with regards to this or any spill.
But I can’t help but chuckle at many of the
wussie boys and tree huggers going goofy foot on this one.
The oil spill affects the crab fishermen, and probably other fishermen, too. It also affects the restaurants, tourists, excursion boats, private boats, ferry boats -- not to mention the wildlife, fish, fowl, beaches. Also, Angel Island, Alcatraz... So much of our industry and economy is based on the Bay.
Commercial crab boats won't go out in oil-tainted waters. See link for dozens of new articles.
