I get quite upset at the attitude some have 'we don't want that nasty oil refinery in our area' and bitch about the high price, bitch about the possible polution and just generally bitch. If it weren't an oil refinery, it might be a nuke plant, or windmills. But they still want and demand the nicer things in life...... as long at it doesn't require sacrifice on thier part. - and it can be had at a low price. They woudl like it to be American made .... but don't want to pay the wages for the American made craft. But they will complain about the factories being moved 'offshore' while they stand in line to buy a Chinese television, Vietnamese 'shrimp' (really prawns but they are too stupid to know that) and a pair of shoes made in India, "They just don't make good American shoes anymore you know."

Now that some whales are off the endangered species list, we can start using them as a renewable resource by turning them into bio-diesel. "Hey, I get 40,000 miles a whale!" one might brag. Of course, there would be a fight as to where we could put the whale refinery!
