1st hand testimony of the hidden information regarding the oil spill.

Several activists some of whom you may recognize enter the Blackwater Horizon Unified Command Center and present 6 demands.

2. The lady is spot-on.
The only meaningful efforts to reverse the damage will certainly come from the ground up- from society up.
The law has failed.
Policy has failed.
Profit has failed.
People cannot afford to fail.

3. people got out of Pass-a-Grille beach below St Pete last weekend covered in oil!
it is all being covered up..

there was no oil on the surface of the water..but when swimmers got out of the water..they were covered with oil..authorities were called and the people were told to scrub themselves with COMET!

How would any of us like our kids or grand kids covered with this oil and dispersants?

And then see it all covered up and being told to scrub with COMET!!!!!!!!

9. Pass-a-Grille
Pass-a-Grille beach is 100% oil free. There is no oil I know
because I swim there every single day. There is no cover-up
other than the one over my bathing suit ;o)

5. IMHO they should have pressed forward.
those to old out of shape rent-a-cops wouldn't have been able to stop them if the ALL pressed forward. by the time they could have called the cops (who I'm sure would have broken land speed records to assist them - NOT) the protesters could have made it to the 14th floor.

Stand together and rage against the machine! :evilgrin: :yourock:
