Gulf pollution

This is horrible.  How many of us realized while watching the oil spill clean in the Gulf of Mexico that various entities have been dumping all kinds of awful stuff into it for decades?

Runoff and waste from cornfields, sewage plants, golf courses and oil-stained parking lots drain into the Mississippi River from vast swaths of the United States, and then flow down to the gulf, creating a zone of lifeless water the size of Lake Ontario just off the coast of Louisiana.

And even worse:  "The gulf’s floor is littered with bombs, chemical weapons and other ordnance dumped in the middle of last century."

We've come a long way from the way we treated our land and waterways, but we're stilling paying the price.  

Another reason I don't eat fish.
