Is it hypocritical to use gas but be against drilling for oil here?
There is a great deal of hypocricy in a lot that we say here in the USA as opposed to what we do. We say that we do not want oil to spoil the environment, yet we think it is okay to import oil from Russia, whose ancient infrastructure spills as much into the pristine Siberian landscape every year as was spilled by the Valdiz tanker. We say that we want workers to be protected, yet we line up to buy cheap products manufactured by slave and prisoner labor in a Communist dictatorship. We say that we want the government to mandate conservation for everyone else, yet we continue to waste energy on everything individually. We say that we want fiscal responsibility and for everyone to pay their fair share, yet we allow corporate welfare to dispense tax payer dollars to individuals and corporations that will invest the money overseas to avoid US tax laws. Yes, there is hypocricy in EVERY direction you look (left AND right)!
