Hands across the sand: Floridians join together to protest spill

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

FT. MEYERS, Fla. -- Thousands of people joined hands across coastlines in South Florida and around the world to take part in a movement aimed at expressing outrage over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Many who participated in Saturday's event held hands for 15 minutes -- some with friends or relatives. Others joined strangers' hands.

It was a grassroots movement inspired by the 1980s Hands Across America human chain effort where beachgoers in 30 states and nearly a dozen countries plan to join hands, forming a symbolic barriers to protect the shoreline from oil spills.

Several million people stayed inside today to protest the uncomfortable heat of the day. The sun really didn't care and just kept right on fusing hydrogen.

I am among them! In fact, I vow never to return outside until the sun has completley stopped all forms of nuclear fusion, or until the earth tilts away from it. ;D

Yeah, sometimes I wish FEMA would just get a move on with the mass evacuation of Florida so I'd be forced out of this muggy hot hell hole.

Maybe I'd get a nice cool FEMA trailer up in the Mts. near TnAndy. :)

I'm sure that most of them got in their cars and drove to the protest. The oil companies are quaking in their boots.

I bet the oil execs joined them in a chorus of "We Are The World"
