And now word has hit that a line in Salt Lake City has ruptured and it's spilled 400 to 500 barrels of oil into a creek. They say it may run into the Great Salt Lake. It's already covered ducks and geese and a few stray Mormons.Two oil leaks and Palin wants more drilling. In-fucking-credible.
What this shit should be teaching us is that we need to stop drilling and pumping oil out from under the ground and under the sea. We need to learn that we've got to stop raping the planet so a few people can stay wealthy. We can generate electricity and power cars, trucks, and buses with solar power. All the jobs that we'll lose if we stop drilling baby drilling can more than be made up when we employ people to clean up the planet and to make and install solar panels. Any tax revenue we lose from the loss of oil and gas taxes can be made up from the taxation of hemp, which should be made legal this minute, even if it's only the industrial hemp, and through the taxation of all churches.
It's time to stop listening to idiots who keep telling us we have to rape our planet so they can stay rich.

Amazing what you can do with hemp.
How do we get Tax Churches on the ballot?
How about we plug some oil leaks with Palin and her ilk?
When are politicians going to make public transit the national priority it should be?
I live two blocks from the Utah spill. That stream feeds the aquifers in my backyard. Still waiting to see the full impact.
And thinking about getting a bike.
My hatred for pure unregulated capitalism grows every day, just like the oil spill.
