Kevin Costner may hold key to oil spill cleanup

Pittsburgh Post Gazette carried this today just below the fold:



I had no idea Costner might just save the world dancing with oil. I hope it works.

Really? I absolutely love him and his films...:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

but I can't vouch for my brother. :evilgrin:

whatever you may think of his later films, Dances with Wolves was a masterpiece that deserved every Oscar. And Kevin taking action on this makes him all the more respectable in my book

Costner is hawt and I like him. Did I mention I think he's hawt?

I had no idea he was so involved in this kind of research.

Kudos to Kevin!

:applause:

We shove Kevin Costner into the pipe to stop the oil gushing out!

Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?!

Kevin's centrifuge atop spinning around.... Oil exec's sucked ever deeper into the vortex BELOW!

Leave it to the arts to save the world - or at least take a significant and creative creative at it!

I was ranting the other day about my kid's high school somehow finding 200-thousand dollars (or close to it as of this writing) for a fucking Jumbotron for the football team - and a coach who makes six figures plus, while the math and science and English teachers are told there's a salary freeze - that is those who haven't been laid off. This skewed, screwed priority just pisses me off - because it seems to me we already have more than enough young people out there who are skilled at chasing somebody and knocking them down. We can find such experts of many ages and derivations, in any back alley of any bad neighborhood in any city or town or hamlet in this country. We don't need to train any more!!! What we need are brains and creativity! BRAINS - and THINKING and CREATING - that can think us a way to stop the gusher in the Gulf. THAT is what we need and should be investing in and nurturing and splurging on in our schools! And we have HUNDREDS of problems that are pleading for solutions that brain power provides more than brawn power ever could!

I applaud Costner's sense of social obligation. He's taken a great deal into his own pockets with his work and his talents. And here he is using those resources of his to try to relieve a dreadful planetary crisis. My hat's off to him! That's real class. That puts him up with Robert Redford as an artist with a conscience and a sense of responsibility to the world community (in the case of someone with international star status) that's given him so much.

:patriot:

They finally found a use for all of those Waterworld vcr tapes. :rofl:

I remember how much grief he got for that movie.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling his idea for cleaning up the Gulf is even worse.

I hope he proves me wrong.

sigh...

We will find out soon enough
