Gulf Now...

The horror, the horror, the horror...
Keep trying to be both pro business here and pro our waters. And by business I do mean oil but so many days of this, so much damage, so little trust. "For now" we use oil, we need it to maintain things, and with so many people it's what they do here - oil. But this is such a mess with no end in sight. Since we're a surf shop - some want me to protest. But what? End oil drilling? So many people depend on that, hard working people. And we are all still filling up, right? Yes, I'm totally for an alternative positive environmental power source (let's do it!). But for some damn reason it's easier to get a job when your still employed.
I've surfed all over LA - with bio hazard signs that had little to do with oil in the water, but RUN OFF. Sure some of that's oil, but mainly other nasty shit. And the DEAD ZONE has been out there with little fan fair for some time...
But not our pelicans dripping with oil. The worse is seeing our wildlife helpless to our ugliness. A horror we've allowed. The shame, the shame... What would my protest sign be? Maybe a mirror.
