Depends on how you spin it..

If you're like me,and let's face it,..who isn't?,..you've come to enjoy gathering up the family,crowding together on the couch,setting the coffee table with a bowl of pork rinds and a bottle of Tobasco brand hot sauce,and watching the live video feed of the monumental oil spill roaring forth from the sea floor in the gulf of Mexico.

The younger ones amongst you may have curiously inquired,..'HOLY FLYIN' SHIT!!..How is this gonna affect all those rare and wonderful creatures that inhabit that delicate environment??'..

Well,not to worry!..As you can see in the screen shot I took this very morn,a magnificent Eel glides gracefully within a few feet of the catastrophic consequences of the unbridled greed and hubris of short-sighted corporate ASSHOLES!  gently flowing stream of Earth's bounty.

Clearly,this nimble fellow remains unaffected by his circumstance..
If anything,his freshly lubed exterior will allow him to more easily slip those relentless gulf stream currents,allowing him to better compete with his so-called 'pristine' counterparts!

..I hope this encouraging development has helped to set your mind at ease.
