It's just sickening if any of what she said is true. She kinda went off the deep end at the end, but she sounded relatively insightful the majority of the time.

Maybe I just don't trust people, but does anyone really beleive that if BP had the option of doing a half arse job and getting away with it and saving hundreds of millions of dollars or spending hundreds of millions more to do it right, which do you think they will do.
And our area is a lot easier to get away with things. If it washes up in the marsh, not a lot of people see it up close as opposed to the beaches along the coast. I think its just the nature of business and trying to save money.
That is why i think someone else, should be running the cleanup and sending them the bill. How do you let the one who has to pay for things decide what to do to clean up properly, of course they will make decisions to cut corners when they can.

Half way through and to me she sounds like a person that is going to have a problem with anything.
Cutting cost: I too have sat through a meeting just like she has. I was and the headquarters for the Grand Isle area. The only talk I heard of cutting cost was not in the meeting (in which 90% of the people had no idea who I was/ meaning insider or outsider) was not in the meeting but the talk was of not replacing a sorbent boom until it had been oiled instead of partially oiled. Meaning it had much more absorbent capability left.
I did see a ton of money being spent by BP on staging equipment and materials for a project that might not ever be done. Talking hundreds of thousands of dollars to stage material to fill in Camanada Pass.
Here second point was resperators. Yes if you work for bp there are rules as there should be. You have to be trained. I go through this training where I work. If the situation was different (the opposite of what is occuring) can you imagine the outrage that would occur is someone was overcome by fumes and they had their resperotor on wrong because they were not trained!!!
If you MIGHT need one you must be trained. That is common sense. Air monitoring shows that it is not needed. If it shows that it is it will be a little to late to train your sorry arse while you are chocking on fumes.
Her third point was just that she thinks she is being lied to about firefighters in 911 and such. Ummm Basically she said she wanted to punch him in the face because she didn't believe a firefighter would be so gung-ho as to not wear a respirator because their coworkers were missing and they were going to look. Don't know the facts but that sounds plausible to me. Firefighters are firefighters because they are gung-ho.
That is where I stopped. If she didn't have anything important to say after watching more than half of her speech I figure I am wasting my time.
How dare BP not want to waste money.

Well how would you know if you stopped watching? Perhaps you should consider the fact that sometimes good points follow bad ones...
I could have stopped reading your post halfway through and missed the idiotic last statement. Wait... bad example.

It is truly amazing what comes out when free speech is really practiced. I have found it hard to believe a conspiracy theory, but after all I have heard, I must say I am now beginning to believe it. God help us all.

Ummm I had other things to do. Wasted about 9 minutes on her rambling on about nothing. You ever walked out of a movie.... well it MIGHT have gotten better had you stayed.

First, IWHI. 
Second, she has just as much conflict of interest as anyone. You think she doesn't have an incentive to exaggerate the extent of problems?
Third, there are always going to be people who are highly suspicious of others and no evidence to the contrary will convince them otherwise. They are already know the "truth" and any contrary evidence is inherently suspect, while any evidence they like is accepted without question. Just because something *could* be true doesn't mean jack.
Seriously, if BP were engaged in a massive coverup and conspiracy the first whistleblower to have concrete proof of it would make millions as a witness in a lawsuit. And yet nobody has stepped forward. Maybe she should wonder about that instead.

She may be a little biased, since her family lives in the middle of all this shite and her husband is a commercial fisherman. She could be biased because everything she knows and loves is being destroyed before her eyes. If what she is saying is only 50% truth it is still pretty damn bad.
The fact of the matter is...BP and Transocean did this, (Transocean could have stopped it but didn't)it is really really bad, (unprecedented) and they are using a toxit substance, (Corexit) to disperse it. BTW, Corexit has been banned in England and our Air Force has been spraying it while the EPA ordered BP to stop using it.
You see, this is going to frick up our environment for years to come. I live 200 miles north of this shite, but it is going to damage our duck hunting in the Ms. delta for who knows how long.
Furthemore BP and our government is covering up as much as they can, oil is now in the Ms. Sound and moving inland. I cannot understand how anyone can sympathize with BP, TO or our government. This is insane, all one has to do is listen to the scientists from LSU, Stennis or USM. Oh and what about the Indians living on Grand Bayou?
