From the mouths of babes… well, she was asked for an opinion, and she gave it. Gotta respect the kid for that. Hopefully Long Beach leaders are paying attention to how out-of-staters perceive Long Beach’s waters.

A Los Angeles Times headline of “Another Long Beach sewage spill forces beach closures” (08/13/08) doesn’t do much to help perceptions either – and is quite unfair, as the sewage spill actually occurred in Watts; Long Beach was just the downstream recipient of the wayward turds.

I dunno, maybe this kind of negative publicity is just what Long Beach needs to spur its leaders to do something about the water quality out of embarrassment - but more likely they’ll be motivated by the potential loss of tourist dollars, as politicians seemed seldom shamed by anything.

That should read "ocean" or "beaches." I do realize we only have the one ocean.

Aw haaaaaaaaale no! Not that I'm defending our disgusting oceans, but I'm just saying: I've been to Oklahoma. At least our stench is limited primarily to one spot.
