Hello.
I live in south Alabama and I have been going to the beach all my life. There are less prople going to the beach but, I assue you, nothing is happening to the ones who are. I have friends who surf and are in the water every weekend and they are not getting sick, or even oily for that matter. I consider myself an amature photographer and all I can find to take pictures of is the usual; birds, beachscapes and the occasional hot bikini. I don't know where all these horrible pictures of oiled up wildlife are coming from but I can say for sure it is not on the Alabama gulf coast.

I find it extremely funny that these folks choose to ignore those of us who live down here. We've been to the beaches along the gulf coast. I guess the truth isn't what they want to hear.
The truth doesn't sell papers. What a shame.

I can't speak for all the beaches along the gulf coast, but I have been from the Florabama to Grand Bay (from the east end of Alabama, on the beach, to the west end) in search of ecological damage and found none.
I'm not the only local posting the same findings here.
I'm just saying that I beleive the mainstream media is blowing this thing waaay out of proportion because it gets ratings. Let's face it the news has been slow lately. There's only so much political mud slinging people will watch.
God knows I hope I don't live to eat these words because this is my home.
