We're in uncharted waters here folks - we don't routinely see an entire ecosystem and food chain destroyed on this magnitude. BP can't pay enough to repair this. They've went beyond the "Pottery Barn" rule. When you break an item, you pay for it. But what happens when by breaking that one item, you destroy the whole store, the whole mall, and maybe even the whole town where the Pottery Barn was. Time for a new level of corporate responsibility. If there truly were any justice (and let me say, I know this won't happen), BP should become the first company ever confiscated by the government and given to shrimpers and operators of hotels and restaurants along the Gulf.

In closing, all I can say is that spending Memorial Day weekend here in Destin, Florida with my family - and there is a deep foreboding here that what we have seen in coastal Louisiana is headed here and all along the Gulf Coast.
