42. I have read the toxicology reports of people who paid for their own testing
They are out there. It isn't my job to prove they are sick and why.

And while you are right this is not the first time people have been exposed, it is one of the major spills of all time. And we do have a huge body of evidence coming from Exxon-Valdez. These are not random small events. And there's lots of information available on the effects of the oil and the dispersants in Alaska. The fact that there is less available about the Gulf IS a major issue. This is directly BP's fault. It is not conspiracy theory to say they have limited access, suppressed information, harassed researchers, sicc'd Homeland Security on people. It is not conspiracy theory to say they have refused to act in good faith on promises to clean up the mess, to test for problems, to settle with people of the Gulf region for the devastating impact their errors caused.

BP has spent 75 million out of the 75 billion they pledged to settle claims. They have spent the same amount advertising that everything is A-OK. Clearly it is not. They want to stop paying claims. They want to close the books on this. They are colluding with the government to sweep it all under the rug. And oil imndustry people post to threads to discredit people who demand answers.

You have so much knowledge, share it. Go talk to Ott personally. Post the answers you get. I email people and ask them outright when i have questions. They respond if you write them!!! Amazing.
