WTF is going on with all these people protesting and supporting the protests in ND?
People who I considered to be highly functioning, non idiots are posting on FB and other places about how this pipeline needs to be stopped and it is racism against Native Americans, even though it doesn't go through any Indian land.
Do they not use petroleum? Drive, fly, heat their homes? What am I missing? A pipeline seems to be about the safest way to transport oil cross country, no? Would they rather see rail cars full of crude coming through their towns? What gives?
Seriously, I have an open mind about this. If there is something nefarious about this pipeline as compared to the 2 million miles of other pipelines in the US, I'd sure like to know WTF it is!
