"Every asshole who ever chanted 'Drill baby drill' should have to report to the Gulf coast today for cleanup duty" -Bill Maher http://twitter.com/billmaher/sta

  Of course Maher, and the upvoters, only consume and encourage things that are always completely safe. WRT the upvoters, none of you ever wanted to go into space or thought that the space program was a good idea. Right? Snark isn't a basis for good policy.

    Completely false dichotomy. Deep sea drilling, while an important part of world production, is not essential, and certainly in no way necessary for spaceflight. Furthermore, spaceflight's biggest disasters are roughly on the scale of plane crashes. This looks like it's going to impact most of the gulf coast, with significant losses to food industries.

      > Deep sea drilling, while an important part of world production, is not essential, and certainly in no way necessary for spaceflight. I never said that it was. The relevance is that spaceflight has had disasters. And, thanks for bringing up plane crashes. Spaceflight has killed less than 100 people. Plane flight kills that many every month or so, with incidents as much as 300 people. > This looks like it's going to impact most of the gulf coast, with significant losses to food industries. You mean like the Exxon Valdez, which actually didn't despite all the predictions? Talk about crying wolf....

  and I could say that every asshole who voted for Obama care should be the ones to pay for it. Both claims are stupid IMO.
