Re: [californiadisasters] Seafloor collapse from oil drilling???

Folks, this is not IMO a California Disasters issue. Now we do sometimes go
astray here, but that's usually on the Discussion group. If there are other
posts on this thread, please put them on the Discussion group.

(Yes, I know we're not at all busy here, but it's about that time of year
that we'd better get our habits in order and reserve this group for the
actual California disasters.)

Living in Kansas the results of pumping oil or water out of the ground
without replacing the the fluid results in sink holes. So I would think
that would be possible in the ocean also.

We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our
souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that
life is miracle and magic.
