Wow - heartbreaking images.
I still cannot fathom that there is nothing we can do to contain this flow. Don't other countries, NASA, the Navy ... someone have something that can help? I'm just appalled that there is so much talk and apparently so little action taking place.
Perhaps this comment from that link has a good idea...

lets give as many unemployed people jobs here, and get this cleaned up as fast as possible I'm sure you could easily quickly hire able bodied, unemployed people who are used to physical work (construction work etc), and let them make a basic dollar, and also let them help
it'd be relatively inexpensive, and in most photographs shown I don't see hundreds on the beaches cleaning up in each area
you need a lot of people there are a lot of people available
give them a quick clean-up course, and get them out there now

At the very least I would think that having as many able-bodied people there to help with the cleanup would be a good thing. Why is no one coordinating this effort?
I've heard/read a few things about the corps of engineers not allowing LA to dredge and attempt to protect the wildlife. They need to do studies first. WTF? Could it really be any worse than whats happening?
