thank you one and all

the most successful question yet. you are all such good sports to play along. i would say Iodine has bumped everyone up a notch on the creativity scale. i enjoyed it a lot and kept smiling all the way through.

ptree wins the prize with the answer - smog. it was really close, though.

if you think about it, no one really knows what is in smog or what the effects of these things are. the petroleum industry has us enslaved. its like people dont want to know because it wouldnt change anything anyway. and any change would certainly bring economic hardship to many, if not all the regular folk anyway.

i come from an oil state and i know boom and bust economies. they are not fun. i care about all of you who make a living in the oil industry. but my prayer is that it falls. it is killing the planet and the people and animals on it.

just look around you. people would have nothing and go nowhere without petroleum. our leadership is all about making money off of misery. that is nothing is changing. but the change will come. look hard. you know in your heart this cant continue. there is no way at all. if not in our lifetimes, then our childrens. and the change will either be or create a disaster of unparalleled proportions. so far i have been lucky. i have been able to refuse to participate except on the periphery. when the change comes, however, none will be immune.

in the meantime, you are killing yourself with every breath because of oil. Tweet
