I'm doing what I can down here, Brucie... I have written several letters to the newspaper and written my Congress people and if I hear of a major demonstration I'll be there, too...

Here's another idea: Why doesn't Canada build refineries closer to these wells??? It's crazy to pump that much raw material that is so dirty... Refine it there and use it there...

Back to who gets the oil... If the US want's some at the end of the pipeline then it has to bid against China for it... That's okay... What isn't okay is for the US to gamble the safety of its water supply just to get an opportunity to bid on Canadian oil... That's messed up...

As for valves being shut down??? Yeah, they can be, pdq... If you do the math and you had a spill of what is held in even one mile of pipe that is enough oil to shut down a city like Kansas City... What??? You gonna put a valve every 100 feet??? Even at 100 feet you are dealing with 1000's of gallons of dirty oil...

No thanks...
