Unfortunately, its the oil proponents in those states who have the mic. not entirely. and, also, well... even I have to accept how money is made here. now if the rest of the country didn't benefit, I could accept those who just say "oh, stupid crackers don't know what's good for you". well, stop driving then, y'all... but anyways, Alabama only has a few miles of coast. I don't know we get from oil, but will look into it. point is, though, it's a balancing act. someone from California saying "you deserve it" for pumping gas out of the gulf... well, they don't have the same economic issues, and also... they are benefitting from what we pump. when they stop driving, then I will take them seriously. however, as usual, I put my faith in the young (certainly not old hippies with the exception of da Rat). they can be reached to understand the connections and that pumping might be important not simply for our state but for the country, but... best be done right and to our satisfaction. when blacks in CA are arrested for mj at 3 times the rate of whites, even though they smoke less... I dun take folks all that seriously on matters of racism, either.
