No disaster , man made or natural, is going to steal my sense of humour. I absolutly refuse to go about all the time being miserable, it doesn't help those that are effected by this disaster, and it does nothing for my health or peace of mind. Everybody knows how terrible this oil spill is, so I'm not going to be repeating how horrible it is ad infinitum.
Better that those that can help, do, and those that can't help directly, enable those that can.
