Groverat we don't want to give away that you are my automaton. Therefore we will pretend like you are ignoring my commands. In order to do this, I suggest that you post something which ignores my previous commands but then adds something different from what I say that disspells the notion of my superpowers. Something like "Don't pay attention to CoD, he's an angry man." And then what you can do is use your moderation powers to insert this before my post here, so that it looks like you posted that on your own and before I posted this message, even though this message came first. That way they will think that you are exercising your own free will rather than following my orders. You may proceed groverat.
If I edit all of my posts to say "What a shame. This is one of the worst environmental disasters to hit our planet in years. " will it save some of the animals or are we past the point at which my words will make a difference? Cause I like wildlife and will be happy to save animals if I can. Except maybe Seagulls.
btw, since I now must be very serious in deference to the topic, perhaps I could suggest that people put their money where their mouths are. Personally, I recommend the <a href="http://www.ecosystem.org/tccp/"; target="_blank">Cascades Conservation Partnership</a> as I know they are doing some nice work here in Washington state.
I think you spilled some of your words there groverat and you left that a bit incomplete.
ShawnPatrick, would you like to donate to my conservation group of choice? Or I can find one working to preserve lands closer to Happy Valley if you like. It seems like a cause that you would support (AFAIK though I'm sure you'll correct me if I am wrong). Since we can't save all those fishies who already died, maybe we can help out some other wildlife with your donation.
For future reference, when is flippancy appropriate?
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> Cool. I'm actually 2 1/2 hours away from Happy Valley- I live in the Scranton area of the Wyoming Valley. I don't know when flippancy is appropriate. Do you have any ideas?
I have at least four ideas but none of them involve flippancy. One involves taco bell, another has to do with printer cartridges and I keep forgetting the other two. If ever there were an appropriate time or place for flippancy though it would be right about when someone tells you they are from Scranton.
Oh well. If you are not environmentally concerned and don't want to save an animal there is nothing I can do. But somewhere deep in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness there is a pika crying tonight because of you.

The crowded future stings my eyes
I still find time to exercise
In uniform with two white stripes
Unlock my section of the sand
It's fenced off to the water's edge
I clamp a gasmask on my head
[Chorus]
On my beach at night
Bathe in my moonlight
Another tanker's hit the rocks
Abandoned to spill out its guts
The sand is laced with sticky glops
O' Shimmering moonlight sheen upon
The waves and water clogged with oil
White gases steam up from the soil
[Chorus]
I squash dead fish between my toes
Try not to step on any bones
I turn around and I go home
I slip back through my basement door
Switch off all that I own below
Dive in my scalding wooden tub
My own beach at night
Electric Moonlight
There will always be a moon
Over Marin

<strong>Oh my God, you're right SJO, we're being entirely too flippant.

Just for clarification:
"Too flippant" and your obnoxious, facetious reply that followed was her point.

If this had happened in the U.S. I wouldn't have cared either.
I'll go slash my wrists for some cormorants now.
