With all of the oil now in the Gulf of Mexico is it possible to filter the salt water from the oil captured and possibly still make this oil a usable refined product?

It seems like a hell of allot of waste if all of the oil is too contaminated to ever be refined.

Would it be too cost prohibitive if it were possible?

Personally I liked Reagan for many reasons.

Many people complain that he created a huge deficeit and they are right but I think there was good logic to it. In his farewell speech he did state that he was sorry about that.

The deficeit was created by building up the military to a huge size. This made the Soviet Union do the same thing and this military buildup was what had caused the Soviet Union to collapse due to bankruptcy.

He also was very funny.

Mankind has created war, atomic and nuclear weapons, bioligical and chemical weapons, greed, hate, jealousy, murder, suicide, gluttony, averice and greed. What could be a possilbe reason God would want to see man continue on as a race. Of course that is if God exists...

This was her response to my question about the atomic bombs the United States dropped on Japan. She said "I met one of the scientists who made the detonator for the Atom bomb. He couldn't get over what happened in Japan and died thinking that he was the cause of death to millions and millions of Japanese. If he were alive, how would you tell him? Well, I couldn't."

First there were not millions and millions for Japanese civilians killed by the bombs. The number was in the hundred thousands. A number far less than the anticipated losses if we had invaded Japan. Also we did to the Japanese exactly what they were trying to do to us had they been successful in their abomb program. I doubt you met the scientist that made the detonater but if you had you should have told him "You saved hundreds of thousands of military personnel and possibly another one or two years of war. You also saved all of the Japanese cililians, men, women and children that were taught by the Japanese government that the Americans are evil and will eat your children.

Anybody else care to add?

First the Japanese started the war by bombing Pearl Harbor

Second, shortly after this attack Hilter and the Nazi party declared war on the U.S. as Germany was allies with Japan.

Third, both Germany and Japan had an atomic program going on and had either produced a bomb first you know it would have been dropped on the U.S.

Fourth, if the U.S. did not drop the bombs they would have had to invade Japan risking 500,000 U.S. and allied troops lives.

Lastly, the Japanese military were brutal to all American & Allied P.O.W's. They tortured and skinned and murdered thousands of prisoners. Watch "The Gread Raid" a true story of their brutality. There were even reports of the Japanese practicing canabilism inorder to not have to carry supplies.
