That doesn't change anything here, Q...

What the pipeliners want us to believe is that:

1. Don't worry, be happy...

2. The spills will be minimal... (U of K disagrees)

3. This will be good for the US... (Why??? Becoming Canada's "oil boy"???)

4. There are valves that protect you... (After how many gallons on nasty-ass crude leak??? 20,000 gallons??? 40,000 gallons??? 200,000???)

5. It's not going near the Ogallala Aquifer... (not true...)

6. All the byproducts/waste will be recycled.... (building roads out of toxic waste still poisons everything below...)

7. We need that oil... (Geeze, what ever happened to renewables??? Oh, that's right... They have been demonized as some kind of socailism...)

8. This will help the US get more oil... (No, it won't... We will still have to bid against China to get one drop of it...)

9. We are responsible... (In the coming week the suit against BP will begin... BP has spent hundreds of millions of $$$ in PR trying to look like the good guys but, bottom line, they are way short of paying for the damage they did in the Gulf...)

10. If you disagree with us you are a socialist like Obama... (No comment but these things are being said on the blogs...)
