So many questions. Yes, we need a commission to investigate this. Why not let the people help decide who is on that commission? Submit the names to a website. Maybe that's too bottom up. But why shouldn't the composition of the commission be decided by the communities that are the victims.

This disaster WILL be a key issue in the November elections. Members of congress should be climbing over each other trying to introduce legislation to investigate, clean up and protect. Instead, we see previous legislation that limits oil company liability to $75 million, and Republican senators blocking efforts to raise that liability to $10 billion. And why put a limit on corporate liability at all? Limiting liability is a form of corporate welfare that dumps financial responsibility on government and victims.

Bottom line, we need faster action, more transparency and a major cleanup, not just of the ocean an shorelines, but of regulatory agencies.

last minute update-- MSNBC weatherman reports that a tail of oil has been seen on the way to or close to entering the Loop Current. This disaster is just hatching.

A few declarations.
