I don't believe all the corporatist propaganda from the right. I thought this article made some good points:


The Legal Case for Blocking the Dakota Access Pipeline

You have no skin in the game. They have their health and the health of their children to defend. That overrides ANYTHING this billion dollar Philistine has to offer. Of course to some.... only the corporations matter.

Do you depend on oil in any way? Do the protesters?

That's what I thought.

You see, the problem is your question. You just naturally assume that:

A) There will be a leak

and

B) it will poison the water supply.

You want us to answer a question, that makes a massive assumption right off the bat. It's the equivalent of, "Have you stopped beating your wife?".

Words mean things, and how you say something is just as important (if not more so) as what you say.
