Hey, maybe if we find those seeps, we could drill the petroleum out of the reservoirs they're coming from, and actually reduce the amount of oil leaked into the oceans. No, wait, then the environmentalists would cry about the poor, starving, oil-loving bacteria. -- It's times like these which make me glad my bank is Dial-a-Mattress

...And then these temporary ecosystems evolved and produced abundant life. They reduced flooding and erosion, enhanced groundwater penetration, created the valley's precious topsoil and fed a radiant food web including decomposing bacteria, amphibians, fisheries, insects, birds, herbivores and carnivores.

... this. As before, its a simply too PC to make mention of. They wont ask Obama about it either. The US businesses depend on this cheap labor. They work at best at US minimum wage, with NO benefits, meaning no check-ups.
