For some reason, even though this never would have produced many jobs (probably about 35, about the same as a Denny's) or even appreciably affected prices at the gas pump and even though pipelines can be a mess and why in the hell should helping Canada sell their tar sands oil to China be our problem?
Maybe this tiresome anti-environmental GOP fetish is totally dead, now. I dunno. Just, tiny little note to people who think Obama caved to "special interests" in rejecting the pipeline bid--people who care about the planet that they live on are not a "special interest". Oil companies are. If you think people who care about who care about the planet on which they live have a special interest, and don't get that oil companies' interests in getting their way over sooooo much protest is "special", then I am tempted to believe you don't think that much about regular folks, who are interested in clean air, water, and having a livable climate, and believe corps are the only people whose "interests" are important to you.
And also you probably suck. Because you, too, need clean air and water and a livable planet, as do your loved ones. But for some reason, you think caring for the planet is "special"--not "essential".
