Oil spills and better mouse traps

There are so many theories as to how to stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. And there was testimony today from Sec. Salizar saying that thousands of distributors have contacted his office offering products to clean up the oil spill.

If I had a machine to stop the oil leak or a product that would clean up the oil spill, I would take out a full page ad in the New York Times advertising my product. I would believe in my product that much and would feel I had nothing to lose.
As always,
