BILOXI, MS. - Residents and government leaders on the Mississippi Gulf Coast say the impact of the oil spill will be catastrophic if the oil makes its way to their white, sandy beaches.
BP Contractors positioned booms around the barrier islands Wednesday.
Meantime, Biloxi residents Gary Stephen and Eric Maldonado tried to catch the best the gulf water has to offer.
“Off time, we're here. Even on time we're here,” Maldonado laughed, about their favorite fishing pier in Biloxi.
Even though there wasn’t a cloud in the sky Wednesday, something loomed over their favorite fishing spot....

Now if Americans can find a way to look BEYOND their borders they might realize that LOCAL USA FISHING is the least of the problem. The peasants along the entire Gulf Coast will have their food source destroyed by the oil industry.
That is only the beginning. There are species such as Manatee and Dolphin that are endangered species that will breath in the oil and receive certain death as it enters their lungs.
Considering how few jobs actually exist due to offshore oil drilling COMPARED to the money recreational fishing brings to the USA in the way of tourism that also means hotels, amusement parks, etc., why are we still doing this mess? Oil has social value? No.
Offshore drilling exists because the USA government IGNORED the FACTS regarding the FINITE amounts of oil as an energy source for FIVE DECADES.
IGNORED IT. Therefore, it became a desperate search ANYWHERE to find it.
Should we still be pumping oil out of the ground?
NO!
Do we need oil in our daily lives?
NO!
