Fucking Fracking

Here we go, New York Times ..

Full page advertisement put out by the U.S. Department of Commerce encouraging the Keystone Pipeline.  Why?  Because (they say) the pipeline will provide 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada.  Quote:  "That's 800,000 barrels a day that we won't need to import from countries that don't always share our values."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!!

So ... most of the imports currently come from five countries: Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigeria.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Mexico and Venezuela and Nigeria and Saudi Arabia DON'T "share our values".  Mexico:  drug cartels are in control of that particular country, not the government.  Venezuela:  Hugo Chavez, anyone?  Nigeria:  totally corrupt government and death sentences for gay people.  Saudi Arabia:  Most of 9/11 hijackers came from here, and it's not allowed NOT to be Muslim here.  So, America.  Tell me again how these countries share our values?  

This ad is so fucking ridiculous that I'm almost just embarrassed for my country of origin.  Fracking (how will get our oil from Canada) is so incredibly dangerous that methane concentrations are 17x higher in drinking-water wells near fracturing sites than in normal wells.  Totally fine, right?

Hey, America:  pull your head out of your ass and realize that all oil sources are poisonous to the environment, and the only way we will avoid total contamination is to stop fucking driving cars everywhere all the time.  

Or don't.  Because that's the America that I know:  Delusional.
