BP Oil Spill Effect On Wildlife
When a VIDEO GAMES TV CHANNEL does a better job than the MSM at covering the oil spill, you know the MSM is UTTER BS.

You are being a little harsh on the poor ketones. First, they are not really, strictly speaking, hydrocarbons since their essence is a Carbonyl group (C=O) attached to two other Carbon atoms, which may or may not be a part of a hydrocarbon molecule, like, say, acetone, which has the carbonyl attached to the Cs in two CH3 molecules. Actually, fructose is a ketone, a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. And the human body, by metabolizing certain fats manufactures ketones. Anyone remember the Adkins Diet, the zero carbohydrate diet popular in the 70s? Dieters were advised to check their urine with a litmus paper strip to check for keto-acidosis, or the rampant production of ketones made by using tissue for metabolic fuel. Only a few types of ketones are considered highly toxic. Those are the unsaturated ones like methyl ethyl ketone and methyl vinyl ketone.

That it is destroying the fiberglass resin of the boats in the water is a huge tell about the dispersant and /or the well discharge.
If this is due to the dispersant it means it is composed of highly volatile light hydrocarbons. From a chemistry background I can say that a large component of these are "ketones" which in some forms are very toxic by themselves. They are what helps break up the oil due their solvent power. They also viciously attack the liver and kidneys besides fiberglass.
If it is due to the gusher it is likely benzene and every one on the boat is in danger now of the effects of a zero tolerance carcinogen and neurotoxin.
Indeed the cancer and leukemia rates for those near to and involved in this event will with out a doubt go way up. With the amount of benzene reported in this info-darkzone being outrageously high this is as likely as the effects of being immediatly downwind of chernobyl and with about the same cancer danger.
Way to go G-4! your giving the kids better intel than what their parents are getting!
It has become a really strange and ironic world.

I really didn't know that so many birds and animals were getting so oily. It When you actually see the devastation it really hits you 10 fold.
