What could possibly go wrong?



Earlier this week a train carrying tar sands oil derailed in Minnesota, spilling tens of thousands of gallons of toxins.

This is just days after an oil pipeline burst in Utah, spilling similar amounts of oil into a stream.

Thanks to Tar Sands Blockade for bringing this story to light. http://www.tarsandsblockade.org/tar-sands-spill-train-derailment-minnesota/

And...and...it'll mean more oil for Americans!

Besides, we don't want any "unethical oil"--

I wonder how bad the environment will be affected? Our friends on the right will probably not see it the same way.

... because the ground is still frozen, it was contained. Don't get me wrong, I am in NO way excusing this inexcusable risk the assholes take with our one and only Planet each and every day. Had it been next week or after, we might not have been so lucky.
