The gulf oil blowout is a horrible thing,  but if it will help your local shriekers keep some perspective on things, tell them there are about 1.1 trillion gallons in a cubic mile.  The high estimate for the total oil leaked so far  is about 48 million gallons.

If they wont listen I suppose you could put your boot on their necks.

Well, Professor Science, are you including in your computations those vast rivers of submarine oil that refuse to surface and be counted? It must be true, I heard it on the electric teevee box.
