All you politicians out there - tell me what caused oysters to disappear from the Chesapeake?

Question

Why it matters or doesn't matter that they are gone, why the "free market" didn't prevent this from happening, and how the "free market" is going to recover this ecosystem.

Answer 1

POLLUTION KILLS....think about what people do to our water ways

Answer 2

I know, I know,  George Bush,   He's the guilty one aint he,

give it a brake will ya?

Answer 3

I don't think you'll get a definitive or even factual answer to this question from a politician. Better to ask a marine biologist.

Answer 4

It is all those pig farms run by democrats upstream from the bay dumping their waste into rivers and streams instead of recycling it into bio diesel like good republican pig farmers do.
