It's taken 70 days for that BP OIL CRISIS in the GULF to turn to psychological issues.
Eco, everything covered it up. Inevitable.
We need qualified therapists in diners daily for group sessions;
Music, mental, physical, ground-floor basics.
Gulf Coast citizens are beyond 'the verge.' the verge is beyond the gulf.
Pelicans, bans, losses - every shape and form.
Orwell-esque.

Clairvoyant Psyche
Strength
Did you hear about the man who cut off his left arm after it got stuck in his water heater? He says he discovered strength that he didn't know he had. Imagine being in that predicament! Alone. Trapped. Dying. Your dog upstairs without water...He had cut his arm nerves. Do you have an idea of intense pain?! Above the pain, the man was thinking straight. I've been using my sense of humor to help me cope with 90% loss of my left arm. No, it isn't amputated; it's there. It just can't be used for much. Broken is better than gone. When do you accept something and give up trying? When is hope lost?I don't give up easily; but, you can't mend a shattered lightbulb. That's like trying to glue together individual grains of sand. Doc describes my humerus as a "nonunion."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humerus Only path is bone graft - another surgery. Nerve damage tops risks. Saddened, not angry about the nonunion, my hope has gone to hospital without me. Thinking again of that man who saved his life by sawing off his arm, survival won out. Human psyche is powerful and clairvoyant. His told him he could have a one-arm future or no future. 'No way out' made him think, then act.Can you see how this relates to BP oil victims? They are losing their lives.Will their hope be smothered to death? Is that hope already murdered?Post traumatic stress 'disorder' ought to be renamed 'attack.' "Misadventures of a New Orleans Girl" demonstrates positive coping skills, during and after traumas. (Excitement: Final book proof this week. Then on amazon.com before New Orleans book release festivities, this autumn.) What tests your hope?

No End in Sight
Oil
I am a big Marx Bros. fan. "Duck Soup" ran on Turner Classic Movies a few days ago. I was excited!
The picture's comical opening credits show a few ducks. First thing I thought? Not comedy. Not schtick. Oil. I thought of ducks dying in oil - BP's careless oil disaster does not go away, even with help from the Marx Bros.
Water
I can't look at pictures of clean, blue seas without thinking of our oil-soaked waters (and beaches) (and sea creatures) (and entire eco-system).
Does BP losing 48% of its market value make any statement?
Oh, yes. BP deserves to be punished where they'll feel it - in their till. That's the twisted good news, from a New Orleans girl's POV.
The straight bad news connected to that sinking market value is further jeopardy for oystermen and all Gulf workers and residents.
If (when?) BP goes bankrupt, people won't be made good.
That Gulf mess is just an inch of BP's massive revenue pool. They make tons of money, drilling all over the world.
Let's hope their financial reservoir will not dry up before Gulf states are compensated; fisheries to tourism, retail to restaurateurs and so on and so on; it's a long list of payees.
I'm only one of tens-of-thousands of people sick over Sportsman's Paradise Lost.
PTSD flourishes where joy once lived on Grand Isle and too many other places. It's not going away any time soon.
Suggest BP rename itself to GD - Gloom & Doom.

SciFi Turns Real - BP Oil Disaster Intensifies in Gulf of Mexico
This is the worst movie we've ever been in.
Worse news - it's not a movie.

Sportsman's Paradise Lost
I'm in New Orleans. Not finding anything clever here: Somebody has made an interactive "oil map," claiming it gives perspective of the BP oil disaster.
You want perspective? Picture your life and your family's and future generations' lives destroyed.
Imagine your pet dying from being smothered in oil.
Every moment you are playing on your map, pelicans and all living things, entire eco-systems are being murdered by BP.
Sportsman's Paradise is lost.
Turn on Anderson Cooper - CNN. Get a look at the birds. Tears in your eyes should get you perspective.
Personally, the whole thing stinks, including that offensive map.
