So what!!!
every beach in Southern California was covered with tar for hundreds of years from natural oil seepage until they installed the offshore oil rigs and started drilling.
Totally agree. The east coast of Florida has had tar balls forever. This is normal. Like you said - Oil rigs would probably reduce the amount of tarballs.
If the people in Destin and other areas are concerned then call the city or the county. They can get convicts out there with rakes or students on the weekend or retirees.
People - If you want to change something cancel your sat or cable TV service and stop supporting the 5 TV networks that own 95% of the channels as they ALL ALL support Obama.
