Discussion of the effects of economical intrests in oil etc.

Question: Can we trust our leaders? This video: Swedish company making oil-buisness with military regime in Sudan, resulting in genocide, and monney in the pocket for Swedish investers, big and small. My oppinion: No, One has to trust one's own way of seeing things

jazz would i get in trouble for making fun of bow35? i've got material aplenty just itching to get used

Or even make a law against drilling for oil at any cost. Such a laws probably alredy excist. It's up to journalism to make sure theese laws is obeyd

 

so no oil? period? tell it to the medical scientists using oil-based plastics in prosthetics. tell it to the people making condoms in an attempt to stop STDs. tell it to whatever your keyboard is made of and the insulation that keeps your wires from touching. tell it to elastic in babies' diapers. no more drilling = no more alot of shit you enjoy in your life
