"Tons Of Oil Seep Into The Gulf Of Mexico Each Year"
If it seeps, it's apparently no big deal because we don't see it all at once.
If it gushes, it's a really big deal.
It's a fact that there is similar seepage (no big deal) off the coast of California.
It's also a fact that drilling relieves pressure and REDUCES seepage.
Oil in the water is oil in the water. Right? Go figure...

This was published in Science Daily back in year 2000:
"Twice an Exxon Valdez spill worth of oil seeps into the Gulf of Mexico every year, according to a new study that will be presented January 27 at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.
But the oil isn't destroying habitats or wiping out ocean life. The ooze is a natural phenomena that's been going on for many thousands of years, according to Roger Mitchell, Vice President of Program Development at the Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) in Rockville Md. 'The wildlife have adapted and evolved and have no problem dealing with the oil,' he said."
