I agree with her I think Jenifer is saying that because maybe if other people say that they will walk away then maybe she can try to try a better way to do a better thing. To report oiled shoreline or story I think they are tearing down 6,000 houses cause the Gulf of Mexico oil leak has drawn aggressive ...
