I won't speculate or pretend to understand how we got here, but will (naively?) hope the truth becomes known, and that the errors aren't repeated. But by who- and how? Isn't the Bay already supposed to be a mass of management regulations to avoid exactly this situation? And- isnt' that reaction pretty dang complacent? It's just punting ot faceless authority. So, it feels very disturbingly complacent from my cushy remote chair. I wonder if some of the complacency isn't fostered by public message. What I've seen is focused on "don't do anything, leave it to the professionals." Wow, that's making it pretty easy for us to... not do anything. I'm just sad thinking about this. B This is so tragic.

Unless you are stuck there or are actively involved in the clean up effort, there's no reason not to take the opportunity to surround yourself with cleaner water. Sometimes we need to look after ourselves so that we can be of better use and not let the tar weigh us down. It's not fleeing, really. It's getting ourselves out of the way.
