Anyone Remember Mexico’s Ixtoc I Spill?
We were wondering, given all the hysteria about the BP oil leak, why don’t we hear it compared to some of the other oil spills in history, besides the Exxon Valdez.
http://sweetness-light.com/archive/anyone-remember-mexicos-ixtoc-i-leak
I don't know what to believe anymore. It seems everything is blown into a huge catastrophe. I wonder if people in the gulf and the affected areas would be a little less stressed if the press actually compared the current spill with one that is over and done with, rather than constantly saying how "unprecedented" this event is.
Seems like unprecedented it the new word of the decade.

NOT UNPRECEDENTED!! This exact same scenario happened in 1979 in the Gulf of Mexico.

NOT UNPRECEDENTED!! This exact same scenario happened in 1979 in the Gulf of Mexico.
So, the similar oil spill disaster that was today knocked out of first place: Ixtoc I - a remarkably similar accident that caused much the same damage on the bottom of the ocean floor. They tried a dome (didn't work); they tried different things, but in the end...had to wait for the relief wells to be drilled...10 months later.
Ixtoc I
The 2-mile-deep exploratory well, Ixtoc I, blew out on June 3, 1979 in the
Bay of Campeche off Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. By the time the well was
brought under control in March, 1980, an estimated 140 million gallons of oil
had spilled into the bay. The Ixtoc I spill is currently #2 on the all-time
list of largest oil spills of all time.
Move the decimal point one digit over to the right and I will consider it!

According to the Border Patrol the public is being mislead as to WHO is coming into the US from Mexico. These are THE FACTS, as reported by WSBTV in Atlanta.

Muslim Belief
The author of this story, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion, per capita, in the United States , especially in the minority races!!!
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Imam was speechless!
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me!
Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizer s and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...
FOR GODS' SAKE! PLEASE SEND THIS ON
No worries!:)Nez

THE POTTY
A LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD BOY IS SITTING ON THE TOILET.
HIS MOTHER THINKS HE HAS BEEN IN THERE TOO LONG, SO SHE GOES IN TO SEE WHAT'S UP.
THE LITTLE BOY IS SITTING ON THE TOILET READING A BOOK.
BUT ABOUT EVERY 15 SECONDS OR SO, HE PUTS THE BOOK DOWN,
GRIPS ONTO THE TOILET SEAT WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND
HITS HIMSELF ON TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH HIS RIGHT HAND.
HIS MOTHER SAYS: "BILLY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A WHILE."
BILLY SAYS: "I'M FINE, MOMMY. I JUST HAVEN'T GONE POTTY' YET."
MOTHER SAYS: "OK, YOU CAN STAY HERE A FEW MORE MINUTES. BUT, BILLY, WHY ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF ON THE HEAD?"
BILLY SAYS: "WORKS FOR KETCHUP."

Hilarious message board posts
I had tears streaming down my face after reading these. They were pulled from a Yahoo board and posted by dinner_and_a_fine_whine. His points hit close to home for a lot of us.
WGAT down again. It is just so unfair!
by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/9/00 7:46 pm
Msg: 13456 of 22370 The market goes up and WGAT goes down. The market goes down and WGAT goes down. Why does this always happen to me? Why doesn't this go straight up? It is not fair.Why all the buy ratings but no buying? Why no news? Wink has news. Liberate has news. Why don't we ever get any news? Somebody bought 25000 shares at 40 and change after the bell? what do they know that i I don't know? Why don't I know anything? What about all these shorts. What do they know that I don't know? Why do there have to be so many shorts anyway? When will this MM manipulating stop anyway? Why doesn't my research pay off. It is so unfair. WGAT shareholders having a party but I haven't been invited. Nobody invites me anywhere. Why didn't I listen to uncle Joe and buy more Cisco? Why did I buy so much WGAT anyway? My wife is going to kill me. She hates me anyway. Says I complain too much. Good product but why can't we get PR ? Nobody ever promotes my stocks! Why did I have to pick a day when longs are so hostile to post my first informative post on this board?. The market is just so unfair. WGAT and my life bite.
Oh man! My wife is going to kill me!
by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/9/00 10:22 pm
Msg: 13477 of 22370 First I buy 4000 shares of WGAT based on information provided by a poster who turns out to be a short. Then I buy a computer for $1800 and now hypemaster tells us they are practically giving them away. The people in Peru won't use WGAT because they got free computers. They can all afford Liberate's high cost because they have free computers. I can't afford squat because I own WGAT and bought my computer. Why does this always happen to me?
I sold! I Shorted! I Covered! Oh God!
by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/10/00 8:45 pm
Msg: 13607 of 22370 Oh GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ! Why did I watch that ticker anyway.? It went below 37 and I couldn't take it anymore. I sold and shorted to recoup my losses. Then I had to cover and rebuy my shares at 41. Now its at 40!Why did my trades have to go through anyways? Where were the hackers when I needed them? Why don't the hackers ever visit my on line broker? My broker sucks! What is going on here? Why can't people make up there mind on this stock? Doesn't anyone stick to their convictions anymore? Why do we have to have uncertainty anyway?WGAT is up 1 and 13/16 and I am down another $16000. This stock sucks!And whats with these MM's shaking people out? Oh Man !I am going to get shook out when I get home! Man I have to hit $51 to break even.Now slow_blood says the stock will only hit 50. God! why did I ever buy this stock back? There will be more than slow bleeding when my wife catches up with me. Come Midnight Tel will be talking about Candles Cups and handles. Man the only cups handles and candles I will see will be coming at my head. Why did I have to marry that tempermental woman anyway? I'm tired of being the emotional rock in my family! I better promise her a blockbuster tommorrow or I'm dead! Hal are you listening? Oh he's not listening!Nobody ever listens to me!My life bites. This millenium sucks!Maybe I should move to Peru where they have all those free computers. Oh no! I can't go there thats where my wife is from. Why does this always happen to me?
Oh NO! 8:20 and still no news!
by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/11/00 8:23 am
Msg: 13633 of 22370 Oh man why did I promise my wife blockbuster news today? This is going to hurt . We are going into the toilet. I'm going to get a margin call. I came here looking for a blockbuster.Instead all I ever get is my wife the ballbuster. Why does this always happen to me?
Oh my God! My wife just called!
by: dinner_and_a_fine_whine 2/11/00 7:27 pm
Msg: 13714 of 22370 Someone tipped her that Hal is selling 6 million shares and she is coming straight home I tried to tell her that it was a false alarm but she hung up. Oh god I know I should run but I can hardly move! Why did I have to take all that valium after reading the hypemaster's post? Man why do people keep posting this stuff? Why don't people just post informative and helpful facts like mine? I wanted to comment on today's action but I will have to try later if I still can. She's coming down the hall now and she's carrying that black candlestick. Oh man this is going to hurt! Man this board bites! My life sucks! Oh God why does this always happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Oh my god! I'm $12 from a margin call!

Msg: 13761 of 22371 Why oh why doesn't this stock go up? STRM was up,OPTV was way up.Wink was up.Even Lbrt squeezed out a gain. But we just went down. We always go down. This is just so unfair. My broker says don't worry this is just profit taking.I didn't take any profits. Did you take profits? I never get profits. All I ever get is screwed. What a bunch of crap!This stock sucks!Conner 75 says its a dog.Partga made reference to "this puppy". Oh great I own another dog!Dogs suck! My wife had a dog. He hated me . We had to take him to a vet to have him put out of his suffering.The vet offered my wife a 2 for 1 deal on me and the dog. What was that all about? Damn dog died of natural causes by the time I talked my wife out of it.I hate dogs. Vets suck! My broker says don't worry this stock is not a dog. Just shorts and MM's screwing with the stock.This stock has leading technology he says. Nothing can go wrong. It's smooth sailing from here. Oh man isn't that what they said about the Titanic? Oh my God I'm on a fricken dogship to ####!My broker says don't worry short squeeze coming. Too many shorts. Oh man why does there have to be so many shorts? Why do they all have to be so mean? Why do they always drive my stocks down? What did I ever do to them?My broker says they will get theirs. They got theirs alright. They got their profits. Short squeeze coming! What a bunch of crap! The only shorts squeeze I ever get is when my wife makes me wear those darn bikkini briefs.Bikkini briefs suck. I hate shorts! I bet my wife is a short.I think my wife shorts this stock everyday just so she can whoop my ass when I get home. ! And who are these MM's people screwing with my stock? Who do these people think they are? What are they? Has anyone ever seen them? What does M&M stand for?I close my eyes at night and all I can see are these these people dressed in colorful candy coated outfits chuckling while they are screwing with my money and my mind. I hate M and M'S. Melts in your mouth not in your hand! What kind of scam was that? MM's, shorts, my broker and this stock suck. I'm $12 dollars from a margin call and Monday is comming. Margin sucks. Why did I ever buy on margin anyways? Margin what a scam! Where are we going from here? I'll tell you where we are going. Straight down! My stocks always go down. I hate investing! Investing Sucks! Why does this always happen to me?
What kind of scam is this?

Msg: 13826 of 22371 Oh this is just great!They just posted interest in my margin account and triggered a margin call. Margin interest what is that all about? I don't remember my broker mentioning margin interest. Margin interest? Oh that is so unfair! "Buy more WGAT" my broker says. "I ain't got no money" I tell him. He says what about margin? I say "I hear its risky." "Only for losers" he tells me,"not for astute positive thinkers like yourself. Remember" he says "I'm your friend I only have your best interests at heart.If you do well I do well. Easy money he says." I ask "shouldn't I diversify?" He says he'll let me in on a little secret." S G Cowan is about to initiate coverage on WGAT with a strong buy. After that nothing but splits coming." Oh wasn't that just a peachy keen tip now. S G Cowan upgrades Wgat and it drops $5 dollars a share. S G Cowan upgrades WGAT and downgrades my financial condition to life support with one swoop! S G Cowans sucks!Well I tracked my broker down by phone yesterday. He's down in the Caribbean . I guess he's down there with my easy money looking out for my best interests. Full service brokers what are they all about? Weren't there enough used car lots to go around? My broker sucks ! He costs me money twice once when he gives me advice and once when I take it. Oh yeah. I almost forgot he is my friend.I asked him once "If you are my friend why don't you give me some free advice?". So he did! He told me to marry the woman who is now my wife. What a #######! I hate my broker! Margin interest,SG Cowans,WGAT,free money and my broker suck! Well my broker says I'm overeacting "Splits are coming!" Splits what a scam! "Here I"ll take your 10 and give you two fives. Keep the change!" What the #### is that all about? This is going to make me rich? No matter! WGAT will never split as long as I own it. My stocks never split. Splits comming? What a bunch of crap!I have news for my broker. The splits are here. WGAT and my broker have split the value of my account in half and my wife is going to split my lip when she gets wind of this margin call. I hate splits! Splits suck! Well I have three days to cover my margin call. I hope my stocks go up tommorow. Oh they won't go up.My stocks never go up. That is not until the day after I sell them. I wish I had cash. I never have cash. Why did I put all my cash into my Y2K generator bussiness? Y2K what a scam that was!Y2k,margin calls and my life suck! Why does this always happen to me?
