45. Hiding behind blue links is a bad thing now?
Sat Jul 27, 2013, 08:01 PM

God, I get a kick out of this shit.....


So when we are all done pretending we are being wise in our "decision making", a bunch of arbitrary, easily avoidable regulations will be tied to the approval. On DU, the absolutists will say "bullshit, Obama sold us down a river!" and those placated by the loophole will say "Obama is so wise to have evaluated it and put these regulations in place. I am for it. He is our man. Let's add this to the list of accomplishments". Then 1000 threads will pop up and the pro-pipeliners will talk about ponies and gradual change and regulated capitalism to the people realizing our fucking climate is dying and the environment is being destroyed and who always let the perfect get in the way of the good. Bickering will continue. Meanwhile, a pipeline will come in. It will spill. They all spill. There is a 2 week spill in Alberta right now. Oil gushing on the ground. Worse than that is that is will increase the velocity of energy throughout the globe. But, thats just a faster nail in the coffin. Its over anyway. Good thing we have all this needless drama while the world is burning and cities decay. In the end, I'm glad we will have legacies to put in books for when all humans starve from climate change. Wish I had a blue link for all that crap, but will soon.

Its a done deal. I know it. Canadians know it. Anyone with a brain in the states know it.
