I question why do we not hear from the families of the sick? Surely some on ATS must have an affected friend or family member that is sick due to the Corexit? Are they telling them its not BP or Corexit related illness? Where are the residents of the gulf, are they keeping them so busy trying to hang on (depopulation) that they can't reply? Any ideas?

Calm Down. I mean no disrespect, but you do not understand I think.
Please have a look at who controls YOUR country. (i'm assuming you are an American Citizen here)
YOU are NEVER going to see this in COURT in time.
N E V E R
Whilst you are waiting for the Court, millions of people are going to be getting ILL, then worse.
It IS already happening.

I hope all of the members who claimed Corexit would not have an effect show up with their arguments well prepared for this one....

I recall being told by the media and skeptics shortly after the spill that Corexit was no more toxic than dish soap.
What bunch of tar-balls.
Armed services are urged to stock kitchens with Gulf seafood

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus , who doubles as President Barack Obama's point man on Gulf Coast oil spill recovery, is pressing America's armed services to consume as much Gulf seafood as possible.
Navy Capt. Beci Brenton said Monday that Mabus has talked with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the secretaries of the Air Force and Army, and his staff has talked to the Defense Commissary Agency, which operates a worldwide chain of stores for military personnel, making the point "that we should be buying Gulf Coast seafood."
In a meeting Monday with Ewell Smith, executive director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, Mabus reaffirmed his commitment to using the tools at his disposal to help the Gulf seafood industry recover from the damage the BP oil spill has done in reality and perception. The board is gearing up for a large-scale national marketing campaign, with $30 million in BP money and millions more in federal dollars, to reassure restaurants and markets across the country that Gulf seafood is safe.
"He expressed what we wanted to hear: He is in favor of the federal government buying seafood from the Gulf," said Smith, who said he would like to see Gulf seafood as the choice throughout the public domain, "whether it's the military or prison systems or school systems ."
BP is giving the Louisiana marketing board $30 million to spend over the next three years to promote Gulf seafood , and Smith said a request for proposals from agencies that would craft the marketing campaign will be going out shortly. The Louisiana board also will be getting a share of the $15 million the Commerce Department has given to the Gulf State Marine Fisheries Commission to divide among the Louisiana board and its sister groups in the other Gulf states, including Texas.
Ralph Hode, fisheries disaster recovery coordinator for the commission, said the money will be used for direct marketing, web-based marketing, supporting testing efforts in the states to ensure the quality and safety of the seafood, and helping fishers to have their products certified by the Marine Stewardship Council as coming from a sustainable fishery. That last can be an invaluable marketing tool. Wal-mart, for example, plans to buy all of its wild-caught fresh and frozen fish from MSC-certified fisheries beginning next year.

I do not doubt the severity of the chemicals they have used,.
however, I do wonder,.. where are all the sick?
Like I said earlier, this will have to get way outta hand to get any more attention.
