Pic: waves washing OVER oil booms on shoreline

Wind direction blowing oil towards Biloxi and Mobile Bay, but Louisiana coast getting it too.
Rain storms expected, will create higher waves than the booms.

The brown lines in the water is the oil.
( adding another pic below to show what the booms look like..they are not very tall)

1. The booms look worthless against the shoreline; sections appear to be resting on the sand.

3. Landrieu gave a speech saying the oil was just
"the thickness of 2 hairs" "just a slight sheen"
when pics clearly show it is more than that.

Now weather pattern indicates that the oil may hit the only living coral system in the continental U.S.,
in Fla.

2. Man will never learn
There has to be a point where we all just stand up and say enough is enough. We're nearing that time I have a feeling. I know i am as this is bullshit that this could happen to begin with with the lives it will take all for the love of money and the want of more of it.
