    Thank you the "calm waters of Long Beach" for having no tide to carry the flood of the Los Angeles River's trash on and out. We lucky folks get to harbor the styrofoam treasures all for ourselves! THANKS BREAKWATER, YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

    Hey people, quit your whining; it's called "Recycling."

    The giant piles of styrofoam, unnatural debris and trash that washed up are actually called "Not Recycling". Or is your idea of "Recycling" trash being thrown into the the LA River, port and ocean and washed up onto our beach in freakishly large quantities? Never heard of that one.

    I guess you haven't been picking the stuff up and reusing it? Recycling isn't always about crap staying with the same person forever. Think of these materials as gifts from distant strangers! And just think of how many fish, birds, dolphins, and other species of marine life are spared this crap because it comes back to our beloved beach instead of joining that big plastic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Now we can just take it to Yucca Mountain instead.

    The ballyhoo about remaking Long Beach into a tourist destination becomes pure bullshit (I bet some of that washed up onshore, too) on days like this. What kind of idiots would ever plan a vacation on our local waterfront?

    How am I going to reuse chunks of styrofoam drinking cups, cup o noodle containters, broken coolers, etc. Make a mosaic cafe table?! I'm sorry Dan, did I pass you on the beach today sorting out the dirty diapers, crates, dead seagull carcasses and tires to rinse take home to your family? Do you think Manhattan Beach, Seal Beach or Huntington Beach looked like this today? Why does the Long Beach coast have to be the net for all of Los Angeles county's crap?

    Aquatic Capital of the World...yes!

    Thank you, Long Beach for making the Rouge River in Detroit look like water you might market in a bottle! It certainly puts things in perspective...I'd hate to be Dan's neighbor with his whimsical windmills he probably constructs from other's trash that is discarded as freely into the Public Parks (we call oceans) as a cigarette butt out of a car window!
