How long are they going to tell people it's safe to swim at the beach ?

[EJSTES2005]

In Alabama, Mississippi, & Florida ?

I live in Orlando now. A few years back I lived in Dunedin which is just north or Clearwater. I would not let my kids swim there now. I cant imagine what the people still frolicking around in the panhandle are thinking!!!!!!

Just like after 9-11 when they ( the govt & pols ) said the air is safe for all the First Responders they now say the water is safe for swimming. I wouldn't swim in that shit if Halley F*$king Barber's grandchildren were there......Which you know damn well that ain't happening. What the FUCK ????

Another thing I was thinking...Who the fuck thought it would be better idea to burn the g-d damn oil instead of sucking it off the surface with some g-d damn fucking SUPERTANKERS?????? WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE FUCKING SUPERTANKERS ????????????????????

1. You are getting doused with oil/ dispersant via rain. The entire regions

is rather screwed. As for the swimming in the Gulf.. it does depend on where you or rather how the currents are behaving. Clearwater is still "oil free" as for sheen or tar balls or goopy oil as for now. So, I would try enjoying it now...

2. Until somebody gets really sick from it.

We are not a proactive society - we are reactive. That means lots and lots of people get hurt and die before any action is taken.

3. You can't close the beach! It's summer!
