The only damage soap does it it acts as fertilizer - causing algae
blooms due to over fertile water and makes the water somewhat basic.
It's *not* toxic in any shape or form. It's soap. Nothing more. I don't
know where they get that hydrocarbon idea from, possibly some
perservative or other.

There's some very bad "science" in that article - in the *exact*
opposite direction of the global warming naysayers.

And your expertise assures us that the shrimp eggs etc will be just
fine. Where did you get your degree? At the dump?!!!

I'm afraid it looks to me that if you want oysters, you better buy them now.

I grew up in Virginia near the mouth of the James and York rivers. I
remember helping my grandpa, wonderful friend and grandpa shuck
oysters. We would put the shucked oysters in quart jars. It was slow
to fill those jars at first because every other one went into our
mouth and down the old tubes. After a bit the jars would fill a little
faster. What a wonderful childhood. No money but great fun and of
course youth at about 7 or 8 years old. Grandpa died when I was 10.
But his memory will never die as long as I am here.

That's the oil, *not* the soap doing that. And only because the soap
isn't breaking it up and collecting it. That's *why* soap cleans things.
It also changes the surface tension of water. the problem now is that
there's *way* too much oil and more coming out all the time. Scraw BP
I say. Do them worse than Union Carbide at Bhopal. No "change of ownership"
allowed.
